  4. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet.
  5. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Add ginger and garlic and cook for one minute more.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.

Notes

This stir fry is naturally gluten-free if you use tamari instead of soy sauce. For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes.
