Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
  • 4–5 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Chop Vegetables: Wash and chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic and ginger.
  3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the white parts of the green onions and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Add Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Stir to evenly coat the chicken and onions.
  8. Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture into the stir fry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  9. Final Touches: Add the green parts of the green onions and stir for an additional minute. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  10. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
