Easy Chicken Stir Fry (with sesame seeds)

No need to go to the counter. This hearty, colourful and delicious dish is ready in 30 minutes.

Note: I cook from the heart and never measure my ingredients. It's all based on taste and consumption. Trial and error at times but not on this stir-fry. I have cooked this many times for dinner and the family love it. :)
