A quick and easy stir fry recipe featuring tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and vibrant veggies in a savory sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups sliced cremini or white button mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • Optional: chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Wash and slice mushrooms, bell peppers, and broccoli. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and the cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water). Stir until smooth and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in your skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add another drizzle of oil if needed. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until they release their juices and start to brown.
  6. Toss in the bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, just until tender-crisp.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients beautifully.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
