One crucial step in preparing the Sizzling Chicken & Veggie Delight is removing the chicken from the pan before adding the vegetables. This technique plays a significant role in maintaining the chicken's texture and preventing it from overcooking. If the chicken remains in the pan while you stir-fry the vegetables, it can become dry and tough. By taking the chicken out, you allow it to rest, ensuring it stays juicy and flavorful while the vegetables get their moment to shine.

Ingredients
  

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

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, grated

2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, and green)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snow peas

1 medium carrot, julienned

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Cooked jasmine or brown rice, for serving

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sliced chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to ensure each piece of chicken is well-coated.

      - Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor while you prepare the vegetables.

        Prepare the Vegetables:

          - Wash the bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, and carrot. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips, cut broccoli into small florets, and julienne the carrot for even cooking.

            - Mince the garlic and grate the ginger, then set all prepared vegetables aside for cooking.

              Cook the Chicken:

                - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the marinated chicken in an even layer.

                  - Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is fully cooked and has a golden-brown appearance.

                    - Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

                      Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

                        - In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.

                          - Add in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, frequently stirring until the vegetables are bright and tender-crisp.

                            Combine & Season:

                              - Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Drizzle the stir-fry with sesame oil and toss everything together, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.

                                - Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed to suit your preference.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

                                      - Serve the vibrant stir-fry hot over a bed of steamed jasmine or brown rice for a complete meal.
