'Better than a restaurant!" quotes Patrick. Juicy chicken and lots of veggies in a flavorful sauce.Â
Ingredients
1 lb. chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced
1 large head of bok choy, chopped
1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
1 carrot, julienned
3 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth
Cooked rice, for serving
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and chicken broth. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken slices and stir-fry until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots and white part of scallions. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets and bok choy. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Combine and Finish:
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to coat everything evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Sprinkle with green part of the sliced scallions.
Serve over cooked rice.
