- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

7. Serve:
- Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
- Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish.

Tips:

- Cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in some teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a quick process and needs constant attention.

- If you like a thicker sauce, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch.

- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms to the stir-fry for added variety and nutrition.

- Use a large, hot skillet or wok to stir-fry the ingredients quickly and evenly.

- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
