Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the garlic and ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the bell peppers and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Plate the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your meal with family or friends, sharing the joy of cooking together!
