Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinating chicken)

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for marinating chicken)

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional for color)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

For the sauce:

  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • In a bowl, marinate chicken slices with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Set aside for 10–15 minutes.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from pan.

  • Add remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry broccoli, mushrooms, and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes, until crisp-tender.

  • Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Return chicken to the pan.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, chicken broth, and sesame oil.
