Step-by-Step Instructions

In a bowl, combine sliced boneless, skinless chicken breast with soy sauce and cornstarch. Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add fresh broccoli florets and stir for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes without stirring.
Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet, pour in the oyster sauce, and stir to coat. Cook for an additional minute and serve hot.
