Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a medium bowl, mix the chicken strips with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the wok in a single layer, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink, then remove from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced green and red bell peppers, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil, mixing everything well.
Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry everything for an additional 1-2 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
