Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

  • For the chicken and broccoli:

    • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
    • 2 cups broccoli florets
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
    • 1/4 cup water

  • For the sauce:

    • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional for extra flavor)
    • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
    • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, honey, chicken broth, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Cook the Broccoli:

    • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
    • Add the minced garlic and ginger (if using) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
    • Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover. Let the broccoli steam for another 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes tender-crisp.

  4. Combine and Cook:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
    • Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli and stir to coat evenly.
    • Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

  5. Serve:

    • Serve the chicken and broccoli stir-fry over steamed rice, noodles, or enjoy it as is.

Tips:

  • Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, or mushrooms.
  • Protein Options: This recipe works well with other proteins like shrimp, beef, or tofu.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken and Broccoli!
