How to Make Chicken Stir-Fry

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

• In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch.
• Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

• In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
• Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and broccoli florets.
• Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
• Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

• Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, hoisin sauce, chicken broth, and sesame oil.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.
• Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 5: Serve

• Serve the chicken stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.

Tips for Success

• Vegetable Prep: To ensure even cooking, slice all vegetables to a similar size and thickness.
• Cooking Time: Be careful not to overcook the vegetables; they should be tender but still crisp for the best texture.
• Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth to thin it out to your desired consistency.
