Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms Sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers Red or yellow
  • 1 medium onion Sliced
Sauce Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce Use high-quality for better flavor
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch For thickening
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Slice your onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and sauté until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Toss in the garlic, onion, and mushrooms. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms soften.
  3. Add the broccoli and bell peppers, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they turn vibrant and slightly tender.
  4. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, chicken broth, sugar, and cornstarch. Pour this mixture into the skillet, allowing it to coat the chicken and veggies. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Once everything is well combined and the sauce has thickened, serve your Mushroom Chicken hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For best results, serve over jasmine rice or alongside steamed noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
