• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 2 large carrots, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• Sesame seeds, for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
3. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, stirring to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet and drizzle with sesame oil. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
7. Transfer the teriyaki chicken and veggies to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

• For Extra Flavor: Add a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of fresh ginger for an extra depth of flavor.
• Make It Spicy: Include a sliced red chili or a pinch of chili flakes while stir-frying the vegetables for a spicy kick.
• Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken with firm tofu or more vegetables like snap peas and mushrooms to make a delightful vegetarian version.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or quinoa. For a refreshing beverage, try a light green tea or a sparkling water with a hint of lime.
