## 🔥 How to Make It

1. **Prep your ingredients:** Slice chicken, mushrooms, and veggies before heating the pan — stir-fries move fast!
2. **Make the sauce:** Whisk all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
3. **Sauté the chicken:** In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add oil. Cook chicken slices until golden and cooked through (about 4–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
4. **Cook the veggies:** In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed. Sauté mushrooms and bell peppers until tender and slightly browned.
5. **Add garlic:** Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t let it burn!).
6. **Return chicken to the pan:** Pour in the sauce, stir everything together, and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is coated.
7. **Garnish and serve:** Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or wrapped in lettuce cups.
