3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less chili pepper.
