Instructions
1
Roast the Vegetables
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with foil. Toss the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, green beans, and a tablespoon of sesame oil together until everything is nicely coated. Spread the veggies out on the baking sheet in a single layer and pop them in the oven. Roast for about 15 minutes, giving them a good stir halfway through so they cook evenly.
2
Saut Chicken with Sauce
While the veggies are roasting, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the rice vinegar and chili-garlic sauce, stirring to combine. Then, throw in the chicken along with the minced garlic and ginger. Cook everything, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, which should take around 5 minutes.
3
Toss Veggies and Chicken
Once the veggies are done roasting, mix them into the wok with the chicken. Give everything a good toss to combine all those flavors. Just before serving, sprinkle some bagel seasoning on top for a little extra crunch and zing. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
Serve this stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles to soak up the spicy sauce. A side of fresh cucumber slices or a simple green salad can help balance the heat. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep the chicken tender. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.
