Method
 

  1. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently. Set aside.
  2. Coat the chicken strips in half of the teriyaki sauce. Add canola oil to a pan or wok over medium heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Add the green beans and chicken stock to the pan. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until the beans are crisp but tender. Add sesame oil and the bell peppers to the pan with the beans. Cook uncovered for about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and remaining teriyaki sauce, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan and stir. Cook for one minute until warmed through. Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with scallions or cilantro. Serve with brown rice or noodles. Enjoy!
