Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tsp Cornstarch
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the chicken in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and stir fry for about 5-6 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. 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 stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well and allow the stir fry to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked white or brown rice if desired.
