Method

Marinate the chicken

In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Toss until every piece is evenly coated and glossy. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

Air fry the chicken

Arrange the marinated chicken slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned at the edges.

Cook the vegetables

Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and julienned carrot and cook until tender yet still crisp.

Combine and season

Toss the cooked chicken with the vegetables to mix and coat in the juices. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve

Spoon over cooked rice and finish with fresh chopped cilantro.

Notes

For best results, slice chicken evenly and avoid overcrowding the air fryer. Adjust seasoning to taste.
