Ingredients

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and Sriracha. Set aside 2 tbsp of marinade for vegetables.
Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour remaining marinade over chicken, seal, and marinate for 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours if time allows).
While chicken marinates, prep vegetables. In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets and sliced peppers with 1 tbsp olive oil, reserved marinade, salt, and black pepper.
Heat grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add chicken and grill 6-8 minutes per side, until well-browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
While chicken cooks, heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add broccoli and peppers, stir-frying for 5-6 minutes until just tender and lightly charred.
Serve sliced grilled chicken over stir-fried vegetables. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Drizzle any juices from resting chicken over top.
