Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 whole red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for serving cooked jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, marinate the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then pour the cornstarch slurry over the stir-fry. Stir quickly to combine, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and give it a final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice, garnishing with extra sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
