- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 8 oz spaghetti or thin pasta
- 1 large (julienned) carrot
- 1 large (sliced) bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 stalks (chopped) scallions

Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot, bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the vegetables.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and allow the sauce to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until combined and heated through.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately.
