Ingredients
- 2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onions and garlic, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add the mushrooms and bell peppers, and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Combine and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and everything is coated evenly.
5. Serve: Serve your delicious Chicken and Mushroom Stir-Fry hot, over steamed rice or noodles, for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
To ensure your Chicken and Mushroom Stir-Fry turns out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
– High Heat is Key: Stir-frying requires high heat to sear the ingredients and lock in the flavors. Make sure your skillet or wok is piping hot before adding the oil and ingredients.
– Prep Ingredients Ahead: Having all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking will make the stir-fry process quick and efficient.
– Customize with Additions: Feel free to experiment with additional vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or bok choy to add even more color and nutrition to your dish.
