A quick and satisfying stir-fry featuring peppery chicken, crisp vegetables, and a savory sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the sliced chicken in an even layer. Cook without moving for 1–2 minutes to get color, then stir and cook through, about 5–7 minutes total.
  3. Remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Stir-fry for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets. Toss and cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon black pepper and salt to taste. Stir everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot over cooked rice.

Notes

Swap oyster sauce for a tablespoon of hoisin plus a splash of soy for a vegetarian-friendly option. Use tamari for gluten-free.
