Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and the cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables: mince the garlic, grate the ginger, cut the broccoli into florets, julienne the carrot, slice the bell peppers, and chop the onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, carrot, bell peppers, and onion to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften but are still crisp.
Return the chicken to the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Cook for 2-3 more minutes until all ingredients are well mixed and heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
