Ingredients​

• 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (additional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions​

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it is cooked through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Combine and Finish:
   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine.
   • If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
   • Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for another minute.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
