Description

A homemade version of the popular Panda Express Mushroom Chicken, featuring tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and vibrant vegetables. Quick and easy to make in just 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, sautéing them until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes.
  4. Stir in sliced mushrooms, broccoli florets, and sliced carrots. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
  7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings beautifully to the chicken and veggies.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste before taking it off the heat.
  9. Serve hot, ideally over a bed of rice or noodles to soak up all that delicious sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave until heated through or warm in a skillet over medium heat.
