  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup canned chicken broth
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 red bell pepper, diced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place chicken in medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup cornstarch and toss until chicken is well coated. Transfer chicken to colander and toss to remove excess cornstarch.

    Step 2

    Place chicken broth in small bowl. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch and stir until dissolved. Add vinegar, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar and mix thoroughly.

    Step 3

    Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat until oil is very hot, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and fry until just cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from skillet. Add green onions, ginger and garlic, then bell pepper to skillet and stir-fry over high heat until bell pepper is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to skillet; add broth mixture and stir until sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
