  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 green onion, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing your chicken and mushrooms. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Prepare the sauce mixture by combining soy sauce and oyster or hoisin sauce in a small bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms (and bell peppers if using). Stir-fry until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir to coat all ingredients evenly. Add the cornstarch-water mixture to thicken the sauce and cook for another minute until glossy. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil if desired.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use high heat to achieve a good sear on chicken and vegetables.
  • Cook in batches if skillet is overcrowded for even cooking.
  • Adjust the sauce to taste—add more soy for saltiness or honey for sweetness.
