Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 8 ounces Snow peas
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Slice the chicken breast thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Rinse the snow peas under cold water and trim the ends if needed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, then add it to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes, keeping them crisp-tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss one final time before removing from heat.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy your Chicken with Snow Peas!
