- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 5 tsp peanut oil, or vegetable oil, divided
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 cup(s) uncooked broccoli, cut into small bite-size pieces
- 1 cup(s) uncooked bell pepper(s), red, cut into 1/2-inch dice

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring 1/3 cup broth and 1 Tbsp cold water to a boil over high heat. Stir in bulgur, return to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl combine chicken, garlic, soy sauce and cornstarch, and stir until cornstarch is no longer visible. Stir in 1 tsp of oil.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact.
- Swirl in 1 Tbsp of oil. Add chicken and spread evenly in one layer in wok. Cook undisturbed 1 minute, letting chicken begin to sear.
- Sprinkle on chili powder and stir-fry 1 minute until chicken is no longer pink but not cooked through.
- Swirl in remaining 1 tsp oil, add broccoli, bell pepper and salt and stir-fry until just combined, about 15 seconds.
- Swirl in remaining 1/4 cup broth and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through and vegetables are tender crisp. Remove from heat, add bulgur, parmesan and lime zest and stir to just combine. Serve with a wedge of lime.
