How to make it
-
Combine chicken breast pieces with cornstarch, Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce, water, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt. Once thoroughly combined, let sit for 15-20 minutes.
-
While the chicken marinates, you can prep your other veggies and steam the rice. At this time, also combine the Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce, Panda Brand Oyster Sauce, a tablespoon of water, and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. This will be your sauce mix for the stir fry.
-
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large sauté pan on high heat. Add the chicken in one even layer, and sear for 30 seconds on each side just to color through. Remove from heat.
-
Add a little more oil if needed, and lower heat to medium high. Add your diced bell peppers and toss for 1-2 minutes to stir fry. Add back in the chicken and cook for another minute, then pour in your sauce mix. Toss well to combine until the sauce thoroughly coats the chicken and peppers, another 1-2 minutes. This should also fully cook through the chicken.
-
Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onion. Serve with the steamed rice, garnished with black and white sesame seeds. Enjoy and check out our other easy chicken recipes for dinner inspiration!
