Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 cup snap peas

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup water

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Make the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch slurry in a bowl. Set aside.

  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken until cooked through (5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  3. Stir-Fry Veggies: Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Stir-fry broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  4. Add Aromatics: Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Combine: Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Cook for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.

  6. Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil, toss to coat, and remove from heat.

  7. Serve: Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Add heat with red pepper flakes or chili slices.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Prep veggies and chicken ahead for a quicker cook.

  • Use a large skillet if you don’t have a wok.
