Ingredients
- 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 small carrot, thinly sliced
- ½ small red onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic. Set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and red onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, keeping the vegetables slightly crisp.
- Add the glaze: Pour the sweet chili sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Toss well and cook for 2–3 minutes until everything is evenly coated and the sauce becomes glossy.
- Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil and toss gently. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Serve: Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or enjoy it on its own for a light and flavorful meal.
