Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound 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)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 carrots (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)

For Serving:

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
