Garlic Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Water (1/4 cup)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Green onions (4, sliced)
• Bell pepper (1, sliced)
• Carrot (1, julienned)
• Broccoli florets (2 cups)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Oyster sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
• Chicken breast (2 boneless, skinless breasts, sliced)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and sliced bell pepper. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the garlic sauce mixture. Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
