Step 1
Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips. Cut the 2 bell peppers and 1 onion into similar-sized strips. Mince the 3 garlic cloves.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the 3 tbsp soy sauce and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until everything is coated and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
