Directions
-
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, sherry, black pepper, minced garlic, and chopped ginger to create the sauce.
-
Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
-
Add the chicken strips to the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
-
In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms, snow peas, and chopped green pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
-
Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
-
Sprinkle with chopped green onions just before serving. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
