How to Make It
- Toss chicken with a little cornstarch.
- Stir-fry chicken in a hot pan 5–6 minutes until cooked through; remove.
- Stir-fry broccoli and bell pepper 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar; return chicken, add sauce, toss until glossy; serve over rice.
- Serve with extra jasmine rice on the side.
No-Time-For-That Tip: Velveting the chicken in cornstarch before cooking keeps it tender instead of chewy.
Swap It: Frozen broccoli works fine — pat it dry first so it stir-fries instead of steams.
