Simple Stirfry the whole family will die for

This stirfry is simply the best tasting, and easiest home made stirfry you can make for your family. 

4 servings

You'll need:
2 chicken breasts
1 head broccoli
1/2 each red, yellow and green pepper
6 or so medium sized white mushrooms
1 can water chestnuts
A good handful of snow peas
1 medium onion (white or red)
Soya sauce
Oil
Oyster sauce (available in the Asian cuisine section of stores)
2-3 Tbsp cornstarch
1 cup water
Prepared rice or noodles

First:
Wash and chop all your veggies into bite-sized pieces.

Second:
Cube your chicken in bite-sized pieces.

Third:
In a frying pan, low to medium heat - cook chicken pieces with about 2 Tbsp oil, 1 Tbsp soya sauce and 2-3 Tbsp oyster sauce and a dash of salt.
Once cooked, set aside.

Fourth:
In a wok or large frying pan, add 3Tbsp oil, 1Tbsp soya sauce, 3Tbsp oyster sauce and 1/4 tsp salt. Add vegetables, and put on stove at medium heat.
Cook, stiring with wooden sppod once a while, until desired tenderness is achieved. I like to keep the veggies a little crispy. Add cooked chicken to the veggies.
At this point, in 1 cup of water, mix in 2-3 Tbsp cornstarch, and pour over your stirfry.  Cook until liquid thickens.

Serve over rice or noodles, or even eat on its own.  Your family will love this. I promise.... Or I ain't "the Man".

For an added delight, cashews always make a stirfry more interesting.
