Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick cooking.
- Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- Peel and slice the carrots into thin strips or julienne them.
2. Cook the Chicken
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan.
- Toss in the garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli and carrots, stir-frying for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the vegetables.
4. Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey or sugar if using. Stir in the cornstarch slurry.
5. Combine and Serve
- Return the chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over the mixture.
- Stir everything together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
