Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
Dice the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into small, even pieces for consistent cooking.
Slice the Vegetables: Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper. If you’re adding other vegetables, prepare them as needed.
Beat the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Cooking the Chicken
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the hot skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
Set Aside: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside in a clean bowl.
Step 3: Sautéing the Vegetables
Add More Oil: In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Cook the Vegetables: Toss in the sliced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, releasing its aroma.
Step 4: Combining Chicken and Vegetables
Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables.
Incorporate the Sauces: Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat every piece evenly.
Step 5: Adding the Eggs
Create a Well: Push the chicken and vegetable mixture to the sides of the skillet, creating a space in the center.
Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the well. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, then gently scramble.
Mix Together: Once the eggs are cooked, fold them into the chicken and vegetables until evenly combined.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
Add Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry for a nutty aroma and enhanced flavor.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for extra texture and a pop of color.
