• ¼ green pepper diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 chicken breast, thinly sliced

• Olive oil or butter for cooking
• Soy sauce and sesame oil for seasoning

Instructions:

2. Add the sliced carrots, chopped green beans, and thinly sliced broccoli stem to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, then set them aside.

6. Assemble the Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spelt noodles, sautéed vegetables, cooked chicken, and sliced omelette. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss until everything is well combined.
