Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1.5 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced on the diagonal
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the corn is tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce.
Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and corn.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve hot over steamed rice or as desired. Enjoy!
