Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add broccoli, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Serve immediately over cooked rice.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Feel free to substitute other vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, or onions.
  • Ensure your skillet is very hot before adding ingredients for the best stir-fry results.
