Ingredients

Instructions

  • Toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, gochujang, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set the sauce aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add the minced garlic and sliced green onions to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  • Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir everything together. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.
  • Serve immediately over steamed rice and garnish with additional sliced green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
