Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger, and star anise pods. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
4. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and honey. Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat everything evenly.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
