In another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Divide the cooked brown rice among four serving bowls.
Top each rice bowl with the sautéed plant-based chicken pieces and mixed vegetables.
Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
