  • 10 min

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced against the grain into bite-sized pieces with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Toss well to coat every piece. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature while you prep everything else. This quick marinade tenderizes the chicken and helps it brown beautifully.

In a small mixing bowl or measuring cups, whisk together the 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp cornstarch, ¼ cup chicken broth, and grated fresh ginger grated until smooth. Set aside.

Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add the marinated 1 ½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced against the grain into bite-sized pieces in a single layer — do not stir for 60 seconds to let it sear. Then stir fry for 3–4 more minutes until cooked through and lightly golden. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and set aside.
