Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and stevia. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry and set aside.
While the chicken is marinating, steam or lightly blanch the broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sliced red bell pepper until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces, reserving the marinade, and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir the cornstarch slurry to ensure it's well-mixed, then slowly add it to the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken nicely.
Add the steamed vegetables to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
To serve, divide the cooked brown rice into bowls and top with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
