Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water optional for thickening
  • Cooked white rice or noodles for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, onion, and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  7. Serve hot over cooked white rice or noodles.
