Equipment

  • 1 Wok or large skillet
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Spatula or wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced (red, green, yellow)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing the vegetables and chicken to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken strips to the wok, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
  • In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the mixed bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Pour the soy sauce and oyster sauce over the chicken and vegetables, mixing well to combine.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, cooking for an additional minute until the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  • Serve the chicken stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.
