High-Protein Chicken Stir-Fry

Prep the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Prepare the vegetables: Slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the carrot into matchsticks. Mince the garlic and ginger. Separate the broccoli into small florets.

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water. Set aside.

Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell peppers, carrot, and broccoli. Cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.

Combine everything: Return the chicken to the pan. Pour the sauce over and toss everything together. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add red pepper flakes if desired.

Serve: Plate the stir-fry hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
