Ingredients
- 2 large (or 3 small-medium) boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- ⅓ cup water or chicken broth
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce or oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ½ cup cold water + 1 tablespoon corn starch
- green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together all sauce ingredients (except for water and corn starch) and set aside.
- Drizzle a large skillet over medium heat with oil. Add chicken, season with Chinese five spice, and saute for 6-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add broccoli florets to pan, saute 2-3 minutes until broccoli starts to become crisp on the edges. Add 1/3 cup water or chicken broth and cook for 4-6 minutes longer until broccoli is fork-tender.
- Add chicken back to pan. Pour sauce into the pan and give it a good stir. Whisk together 1/2 cup cold water and corn starch until dissolved, then stir into the pan. Once sauce has thickened (about 1 minute) cook 2-3 minutes longer, then garnish with onions and sesame seeds and serve.
Notes
- Spice it up: add 2-3 teaspoons of sriracha or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to give this recipe a spicy kick.
- Veg it up: add any favorite vegetable - like chopped bell peppers, onions, snow peas, or cauliflower.
