Step 1
1. Wash the chicken breast, dry it with a paper towel, and cut into small cubes. Place in a deep bowl and pour the sauce over it. If you can't find store-bought sauce, you can always make it at home. Regular soy sauce without additional ingredients is unlikely to work well in the recipe for teriyaki chicken with vegetables.

2. While the chicken breast is marinating, you can prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the white onion and green scallions. Remove the seeds and cut the bell pepper into small cubes (preferably using different colors). Wash the carrots and broccoli, then chop them as well.

3. It's best to use sesame oil for this type of dish, but if you don't have it, olive oil will work as well. Heat the oil in a skillet and add the vegetables. Sauté over medium heat until tender. At the end, add a pinch of salt (optional) and pepper.
