Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup snap peas, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, carrot, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately.
