Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams of chicken breast cut into slender strips.
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil such as canola or olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper red or green, sliced
  • 2 carrots thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce optional, for an added depth of flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water to form a slurry
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cut all vegetables as directed to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Cook the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned.
  • Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.
  • Add Vegetables: Add the bell pepper, carrots, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the pan. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables reach a tender-crisp texture.
  • Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and optional oyster sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  • Thicken the Sauce: Stir the cornstarch slurry, then pour it into the pan. Mix well and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients.
  • Presentation: Adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper according to your preference before serving. Serve hot over a bed of cooked rice or noodles, and enjoy!
