Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup + 2 teaspoons cornstarch divided use
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper cored, seeded and diced
  • 1 cup canned baby corn, drained and halved

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons chili paste such as sambal oelek

Directions

1

Place the chicken and 1/4 cup cornstarch in a resealable plastic bag, shake to coat evenly.

2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over high heat.

3

Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer and season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until browned. Cook in multiple batches if needed.

5

Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels.

6

Add the broccoli, celery and bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the baby corn. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

7

Add the chicken back to the pan with the vegetables.

8

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, chili paste and 2 teaspoons cornstarch.
