Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 carrot
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the bowl with the chicken. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Peel and finely mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and carrot. Chop the green onions into small pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the water, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and black pepper. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips in a single layer and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot slices to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly in the sauce.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats everything nicely.
Turn off the heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
