Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the skillet. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Serve the Garlic Mushroom Chicken Stir-Fry over cooked rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, snow peas, or carrots for added texture and color.
- If you prefer a spicier stir-fry, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of chili sauce.
- For a lighter version, use a low-sodium soy sauce and reduce the amount of hoisin and oyster sauce.
