Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
4 cups fresh spinach
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips, seasoning with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
Add the red bell pepper and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the fresh spinach. Stir-fry until the spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil, mixing everything well to coat.
Serve the stir-fry over cooked brown rice, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
