Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
