Ingredients
- 20 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¾ cup water
- 2½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Garlic and ginger for flavoring
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by mixing sliced breast with salt, baking soda, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- Whisk together water, soy sauce, vinegar (if using), sugar, cornstarch, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken until browned (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from pan.
- In the same pan, sauté minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds before adding mixed vegetables; stir-fry until crisp-tender (5-7 minutes).
- Return chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
