CHICKEN BROCCOLI STIR FRY

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)

Sauce

• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp chicken broth or water
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until smooth.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
4. Add the remaining oil, then stir-fry the broccoli for 2–3 minutes. If you like it more tender, add 2 tablespoons of water, cover for 1 minute, then uncover.
5. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
7. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.

Tips

• Marinate the chicken for 15–20 minutes with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch for extra tenderness.
• Add sliced carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas for more vegetables.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds or sliced green onions before serving.
