For the Chicken:
1pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame oil (or olive oil)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
For the Stir-Fry:
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
1cup broccoli florets
1cup snap peas
2 carrots (thinly sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
For Serving:
3cups cooked brown rice
sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10–15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Stir-Fry: In the same pan, add garlic, ginger, and all vegetables. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until just tender. Return chicken to the pan, toss together, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve: Serve hot over brown rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
You can swap the veggies for zucchini, mushrooms, or baby corn. For a spicier version, add chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes. Meal prep friendly and reheats well.
