  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Vegetables:

  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced

  • 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms (shiitake or button), sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 green onions, chopped, for garnish

Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tsp honey

  • ½ tsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided

Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken:
    Mix sliced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and ½ tsp black pepper until evenly coated.

  2. Cook Chicken:
    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. Cook Vegetables:
    In the same skillet with remaining oil, stir-fry onion and bell pepper for 2–3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, cooking another 2–3 minutes until tender.

  4. Prepare Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and 1 tsp black pepper.

  5. Combine & Heat:
    Add the sauce to the vegetables, return chicken to the skillet, and toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through, 1–2 minutes.

  6. Garnish & Serve:
    Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.

Notes

  • Vegetable Options: Feel free to add broccoli, snap peas, or baby corn for extra nutrition.

  • Spice Level: Increase black pepper or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for more heat.

  • Low-Carb Option: Serve over cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles instead of traditional rice.

  • Make Ahead: Sauce can be mixed ahead of time to save prep work.
