For the Stir-Fry:

1 pound (450g) of boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced.

2 cups of assorted vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas, etc.), thinly sliced.

3 cloves of garlic, minced.

1 ginger, grated or minced.

3 tablespoons of soy sauce.

2 tablespoons of oyster sauce.

1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce.

1 tablespoon of cornstarch.

1/4 cup (60ml) of chicken broth.

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Salt and black pepper to taste.

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional).

For Serving:

Cooked white rice or brown rice.

Making Your Chicken Stir-Fry

Let's start creating this delicious chicken stir-fry:

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth. This will be your stir-fry sauce.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.

Add the thinly sliced chicken to the hot skillet. Stir-fry the chicken until it's cooked through and slightly browned, usually about 3-4 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the assorted vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry them for about 2-3 minutes until they're crisp-tender and vibrant in color.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat everything evenly.

Let the mixture cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

Serving Your Chicken Stir-Fry

Your delicious chicken stir-fry is now ready to be served. Spoon it over cooked white rice or brown rice, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.

Whether you're enjoying it as a speedy weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch, chicken stir-fry brings a burst of flavors and wholesome goodness to your plate.
