Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Green onions chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, cornstarch, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the garlic, ginger, onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth and sesame oil. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
