1 In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with water, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2 Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and stir fry until just cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.
3 In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4 Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in a splash of chicken stock or water, cover, and let the broccoli steam for another 2 to 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
5 While the broccoli cooks, whisk together the chicken stock, brown sugar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Add the cooked chicken back into the pan, then pour in the sauce. Bring everything to a gentle simmer.
6 Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli evenly. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
