Description

A quick and healthy chicken and broccoli stir fry tossed in a savory sauce, perfect for busy weeknights and meal prep. This flavorful dish combines tender chicken breast, crisp broccoli florets, fragrant garlic and ginger, and a rich blend of soy and oyster sauces for a delicious Asian-inspired meal served hot with rice.

Ingredients

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger

Sauces and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Thickening and Liquid

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering to ensure a good sear on the chicken.
  2. Cook the chicken: Add the sliced chicken breast to the hot oil and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Stir-fry the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the same pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp, maintaining their bright green color and crunch.
  4. Add aromatics: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the broccoli in the pan and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly to release their fragrant flavors without burning.
  5. Return chicken to pan: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the broccoli and aromatics, mixing well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Make and add sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to make a slurry. Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and stir continuously.
  7. Thicken the sauce: Cook the stir fry for 1-2 minutes more, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and vegetables thoroughly.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the chicken and broccoli stir fry hot, ideally with steamed rice or your preferred side.

Notes

  • Feel free to add bell peppers or snap peas alongside the broccoli for extra color and crunch.
  • Using low-sodium soy sauce is recommended for a healthier option.
  • Ensure high heat during stir-frying for the best texture and flavor development.
