Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece carrot, julienned
- 1.5 cups broccoli florets
- 2 stalks scallions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup white rice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Add the sliced chicken to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the chicken marinates, chop the vegetables: slice the red and green bell peppers, julienne the carrot, and separate the broccoli florets. Slice the scallions and set them aside for garnishing.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Set aside as your stir fry sauce.
Step 4
Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering. Add the chicken strips and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour in the prepared stir fry sauce. Toss everything together to evenly coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8
Remove the pan from heat and garnish the stir fry with sliced scallions.
Step 9
Serve hot over steamed white rice or enjoy on its own as a low-carb option. Enjoy your World's Best Chicken Stir Fry for Two!
