- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, and sauté the chicken until browned. Remove and set aside.

- Add the red bell pepper and onion, stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the sauce, then add the chicken back to the skillet and pour the sauce over. Mix well and allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes until glossy and thickened.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve.
