3️⃣ Stir-Fry the Veggies

Add the remaining oil to the same pan.
Toss in the garlic, peppers, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until veggies are slightly tender but still vibrant and crisp.
🌈 Think: color, crunch, and fresh flavor.

4️⃣ Bring It All Together

Return the chicken to the pan, pour in your spicy garlic sauce, and toss to coat everything evenly.
Simmer for 1–2 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and cling to every piece.
🔥 This is your glossy, takeout-style finish.
