  5. 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch cubes
  6. 1 cup julienned red bell peppers
  7. 1/2 cup water chestnuts

Add the red peppers and saute for another 1 minute. Add the water chestnuts and broccoli and saute for another minute. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and reduce for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, slurry and season with salt and pepper. Use a paddle to toss the ingredients and be sure that the stock comes to a boil. Cook at a boil for 2 to 3 minutes, before serving over steamed rice.

First dish I made in my new carbon steel wok. Authentic and delicious! Did a bit more ginger and garlic than suggested, and a little less chicken.
