 Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic (minced)

For the Stir Fry:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
• 1 carrot, sliced into thin strips
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup sliced onions
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• Cooked rice or noodles for serving

• Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the marinade ingredients (soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic). Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high heat.

  3. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it's no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.

  4. In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed, then add the sliced onions, bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

  5. Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables.

  6. In a small bowl, mix together the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sugar, and red pepper flakes.

  7. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the wok.

  8. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

  9. Serve the chicken stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.
