Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 200 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the chicken. Mix well to coat the chicken and set it aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir everything together to coat with the sauce.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve Princess Chicken hot over steamed rice or noodles.
