Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into chunks
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the cubed chicken with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • Whisk the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1-2 teaspoons black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Set aside.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over everything and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
  • Serve: Transfer to a platter and garnish with sliced green onions.
