Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create noodles from the zucchini and carrot. Chop the cabbage into thin strips. Slice the green onions diagonally for garnish.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cabbage and spiralized carrot and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss everything together to combine the flavors. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
