Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
• 4 servings cooked jasmine rice (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 2 inches long, and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch until well combined to form the sauce mixture.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown and nearly cooked through.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with the roasted peanuts.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side for added brightness.

Step 10

Optionally, serve the Thai Chicken Saute over a bed of cooked jasmine rice for a complete meal.
