Preparation and Cooking
  1. Slice boneless, skinless chicken breasts into ¼" strips and toss with cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Sauté sliced onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic for 4-5 minutes until tender.
