Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced into strips

1 cup broccoli florets

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup snap peas

3 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

    Prep the Veggies: While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the bell pepper into strips, julienne the carrot, and trim the ends of the snap peas. Set all the prepped vegetables aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant but not browned.

        Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for approximately 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

          Stir-Fry the Vegetables: If necessary, add a little more oil to the skillet. Increase the heat to high and add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.

            Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the mixture and stir well to combine. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through and allow the sauce to thicken.

              Final Touches: Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste. Just before removing the pan from heat, toss in the chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor.

                Serve: Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish or individual plates. Serve hot over a bed of steamed rice or mix through cooked noodles. Enjoy your vibrant and delicious Sizzling Chicken and Rainbow Veggie Stir-Fry!
