Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 green onions chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
