Step 1
Slice the 1.5 lb chicken breast into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the 2 sliced bell peppers and 1 sliced onion, and stir-fry until crisp-tender and slightly charred, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil, and toss everything to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and everything is well combined.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 3 chopped green onions. Serve hot over rice if desired.
