Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 500g chicken fillets (thigh or breast)

  • 1 brown onion

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 8 cups of mixed vegetables (use any that you have on hand – I use broccoli, carrot, zucchini and beans)

  • 1 tin light coconut milk

  • 1/3 cup oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • Rice to serve

Method

  • Heat a pan over medium heat and add half the oil. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through and starting to brown.
  • Once cooked, remove from the pan. Add in the other half of the oil and add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook stirring for a few minutes until the onion has softened. Add the rest of the vegetables into the pan and cook until they are just tender.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan, then add the coconut milk, oyster sauce and brown sugar into the pan and stir to combine.
  • Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Serve over rice.
