Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, minced
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 Spring onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Water
- 2 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add to a bowl. Marinate with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, black pepper, sesame oil, and water. Stir until smooth to create the sauce mixture. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the red and green bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender yet crisp.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and vegetables.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions.
Step 9
Serve hot with cooked white rice if desired.
