Overview
This Chicken Stir Fry is a delightful and quick meal that brings together tender chicken and a medley of colorful vegetables. The preparation starts with marinating the chicken in a mix of garlic salt, white pepper, and sesame oil, ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor. The sauce, made from soy sauce, chicken broth, and a hint of brown sugar, ties everything together beautifully.
