Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken into cubes. Tip: it is easier to handle if you cut it while it is still slightly frozen.

2. 2

   Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. 3

   Brown the chicken in a skillet with 2 tbsp of toasted sesame oil. Once it is well browned, remove it from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add an additional 1 tbsp of sesame oil and brown the onion, carrots, broccoli, and celery.

5. 5

   When the vegetables are browned but still crisp, add the bell peppers and zucchini.

6. 6

   Make a well in the center of the vegetables, add a little butter and the minced garlic. Cook briefly, taking care not to burn it.

7. 7

   Mix everything well and return the reserved chicken to the skillet.

8. 8

   Mix again and add the bean sprouts. Let them soften and reduce in size, which will happen very quickly.

9. 9

   Prepare the sauce by mixing the soy sauce, oyster sauce, the remaining sesame oil, and the cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp of water. Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables.

10. 10

    Garnish the finished dish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Tip for cutting chicken: It's easier to cube the chicken while it is still slightly frozen. Ensure the vegetables remain crunchy for the best texture.
