Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoon oil, divided
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
Instructions
- Begin your masterpiece by tossing the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until they’re evenly coated. Set this aside for about 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. Set this fragrant mixture aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Allow it to cook undisturbed for one minute, then stir fry for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until it’s golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and set it aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Toss in the sliced onion, broccoli florets, and sliced mushrooms. Stir fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green and tender-crisp, and the mushrooms are soft.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Give the sauce a quick stir and pour it over the sautéed vegetables. Allow it to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and gently toss everything together until well coated. A quick minute of cooking will ensure everything is heated through. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Notes
Choose oils with a high smoke point like vegetable or canola oil.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.
Adjust cooking times for different vegetables.
Fresh ingredients are preferred for texture and flavor.
