Instructions

In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add tomatoes and cook until softened and release juices.
Add water and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through and liquid is reduced to about 1 cup.
Add oyster sauce and stir until well-dispersed.
Add sayote and cook until tender yet crisp.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

Sayote has a sticky resin that can irritate the skin. Use gloves when peeling and cutting. Or slice off the top of the sayote and rub on the cut part in a circular motion for about 30 seconds. The transparent sap/liquid will turn into a white, foam-like consistency to remove the stickiness.
It's best enjoyed tender yet crisp. Take it out of the heat before it's fully tender as it'll continue to cook and soften in the residual heat.
