Description

A quick and healthy dish featuring tender chicken and vibrant vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (shiitake or button), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided


Instructions

  1. Mix the sliced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the chicken until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil to the skillet and stir-fry the onion and bell pepper for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Pour the sauce over the vegetables, return the chicken to the skillet, and toss until well-coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

Slice chicken thinly for even cooking; adjust black pepper to your taste. Add more vegetables for extra nutrition.
