Wash and dry all produce. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, deseed, and thinly slice bell pepper. Trim scallions, then cut into 1½-inch pieces. Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small, lidded pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
