Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine sliced chicken breast with soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Add another tablespoon of oil, followed by minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they soften and release moisture.
  5. Stir in zucchini and red bell pepper; cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth until smooth.
  7. Return the seared chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve over cooked rice or noodles.
