Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips and toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp water in a bowl. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and 2 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-6 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp water. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until everything is coated and the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the 2 green onions thinly and sprinkle over the dish. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
