Ingredients (4 servings)
For the Chicken Stir-Fry
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2–3 green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp sesame oil

For Serving
- 2 cups cooked steamed rice (white, jasmine, or brown)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients
- Slice chicken and vegetables into thin strips.
- Cook rice according to package instructions.
- Cook chicken
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through (5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Stir-fry vegetables
- In the same skillet, add garlic and onions; sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add bell peppers and stir-fry 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Combine & sauce
- Return chicken to skillet.
- Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
- Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until evenly coated and sizzling.
- Finish & serve
- Sprinkle chopped green onions on top.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice.
Tips & Variations
- Extra vegetables: Add broccoli, snow peas, or carrots for more color and nutrition.
- Spicy version: Increase red pepper flakes or add sriracha.
- Marinated chicken: Marinate in 1 tbsp soy sauce + 1 tsp cornstarch for 15 minutes for extra tenderness.
- Gluten-free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce.
If you want, I can also give a 30-minute one-pan version where the rice cooks in the same pan as the stir-fry for even faster cleanup.
