Ingredients
Scale
Primary Proteins:
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces shiitake or button mushrooms
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Supporting Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons oil for cooking
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 medium-sized onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- Optional chopped green onions
Instructions
- Toss 2 diced chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Ensure every piece gets an even coating.
- Heat a large pan to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook chicken for 4-5 minutes, stirring until pieces turn golden brown. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
- In the same pan, add remaining oil and sauté 1 sliced onion with 1 sliced bell pepper for 2-3 minutes. Add 3 chopped garlic cloves and 8 ounces of mushroom pieces. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
- Whisk together 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
- Return chicken to the pan with vegetables. Pour sauce mixture over everything and stir to coat completely. Heat for 1-2 minutes until ingredients are warm and sauce clings to chicken.
- Garnish with optional chopped green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles while hot.
Notes
- Cornstarch helps create a crispy coating on the chicken that locks in moisture and gives a nice golden color.
- Ensure your pan is hot before adding chicken to achieve a perfect sear and prevent sticking.
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly and maintain a consistent texture.
- For a low-carb version, replace rice with cauliflower rice or serve over zucchini noodles to reduce calories.
