Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 unit red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large unit carrot, julienned
- 100 grams sugar snap peas
- 150 milliliters low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 units green onions, sliced
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
In a medium bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the coated chicken strips and cook for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and sugar snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are just tender yet still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth, the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir well to combine.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and mix well.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the stir-fry hot over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
