Ingredients

• Boneless chicken breast - 250 grams, thinly sliced
• Snow peas - 150 grams, trimmed
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it is cooked through and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
