Chicken with Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry

Here’s a recipe for a Chicken with Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry:

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
• 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• For the Vegetables:
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

• In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and cornstarch. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

1. Prepare the Sauce:

• In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chicken broth or water. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in the broth before adding it.

1. Cook the Chicken:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

1. Stir Fry the Vegetables:

• In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
• Add the onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
• Add the rest of the vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, snap peas) and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

1. Combine and Finish:

• Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
• Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir everything together until evenly coated and the sauce has thickened slightly (if using cornstarch).
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.

1. Serve:

• Serve the chicken and vegetable stir fry hot, over steamed rice or noodles.
