Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Mix in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the chicken stir fry hot over cooked white or brown rice, if desired.
