In a medium-sized pot, cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Heat a large saute pan with the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, saute the chicken breast strips until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, and set aside.

Return saute pan to medium-high heat and add the olive oil, onions, bell peppers, broccoli and carrots and saute until tender.
