📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

2. Mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.

3. Prepare the broccoli by cutting into bite-sized florets and rinse thoroughly. Drain and set aside.

4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

5. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until it is fully cooked and slightly golden, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

6. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

7. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.

8. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the water chestnuts, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Combine thoroughly.

9. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and mix well with the vegetables and sauce.

10. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and stir gently. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 1-2 minutes.

11. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce if needed.

12. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
