Place 1 t. oil in a large pan; heat over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, mushrooms and bell peppers to the pan; cook 5-6 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove vegetables from the pan; transfer to a plate; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Wipe the pan clean with paper towels; heat remaining T. oil over high heat. Add chicken to the pan in a single layer; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is browned and cooked through. Lower heat to medium; add garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Add vegetables back to the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together chicken stock/broth, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch. Pour sauce over the chicken mixture; bring to a simmer; simmer 1-2 minutes or until sauce has just thickened.
Serve immediately with cooked rice, if desired.
4 servings.
