Description

A simple yet flavorful dish featuring chicken, mushrooms, and a blend of sauces that adds a nice kick, perfect for a quick dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (shiitake or button), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

Instructions

  1. Mix sliced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the chicken until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and stir-fry the onion and bell pepper for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the mushrooms and garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add the sauce to the vegetables, then return the chicken to the skillet. Toss until well-coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Garnish with green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken before cooking. Can switch up veggies for variety.
