  • 1¾ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with black pepper, and cook until the chicken is done (internal temperature 165⁰F). Remove from wok or skillet and set aside.
