Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by dicing the chicken into bite-sized pieces and slicing the cabbage and bell peppers.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the canola oil until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown.
Once the chicken is cooked through, add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
Stir in sliced cabbage and bell peppers; cook for an additional 3–5 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey/sugar. Pour over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly for about 1–2 minutes.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables reach desired tenderness.
Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
