Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the chicken browns properly rather than steaming. Cook in batches if necessary.

Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. You may add a splash of water to help steam the vegetables if they seem too dry.

Adjust cooking time for vegetables based on desired crispness. Firmer vegetables like carrots can be added first.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over everything and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is heated through.
