Ingredients

Scale

1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced

2 cups of fresh mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)

1 cup of broccoli florets

1 cup of snow peas

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

3 green onions, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, minced or grated

3 tablespoons of soy sauce

1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a sprinkle of salt, and a bit of pepper. Let it sit while you prep the veggies.

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet, spreading it out evenly. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly golden.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.

Toss in the broccoli, snow peas, red bell pepper, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes.

Return the chicken to the skillet with the veggies. Stir everything together.

Drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the oyster sauce if using. Mix well.

Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until coated and glossy.

Taste and adjust for salt and pepper if needed.
