🛒 Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, diced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided (for cooking)

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

1/4 cup water

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked white rice, for serving

Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Chopped green onions, for garnish

🔪 Instructions

STEP 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a small bowl, combine the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and a pinch of pepper. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

STEP 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until fully cooked and golden.
Remove from the pan and set aside.

STEP 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan.
Toss in the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for 2–3 minutes, until just tender but still crisp.

STEP 4: Make the Sesame Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together:

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables and simmer for 1 minute, until slightly thickened.

STEP 5: Combine and Finish

Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
Toss everything together until evenly coated in the sauce.
Cook for 1 more minute until everything is hot and glazed.

STEP 6: Serve

Serve hot over steamed white rice.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
