  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thinly
– 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button mushrooms work well)
– 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
– 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– ½ cup chicken broth
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating your own Moo Goo Gai Pan is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps for a satisfying stir-fry:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with cornstarch, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic, followed by the mushrooms, bell peppers, snow peas, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and oyster sauce (if using). Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6. Final Seasoning: Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Serve Carefully: Remove from heat once everything is well-mixed and heated through.

These steps will ensure your Moo Goo Gai Pan is full of flavor and perfectly cooked!
