- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, and add soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken and mushrooms with the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
- Serve hot over rice or pasta, and enjoy!
Chef’s Tips
- Use freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor; adjust the amount to taste if you prefer less spice.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier texture if desired.
- Add a splash of lemon juice before serving for a hint of acidity that brightens the dish.
