Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3
Add the black bean sauce to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic and ginger. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
4
Add the chicken breast back to the skillet and stir to coat with the black bean sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
5
Serve the chicken breast with the black bean sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with a side of steamed broccoli and fluffy white rice.
