Ingredients
For the sauce:
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 large garlic cloves grated
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Stir-fry:
- 1 ½ lbs chicken breasts cubed
- salt & pepper for seasoning
- 2 tablespoons oil divided
- 2 broccoli crowns chopped into florets or,
- 12 oz bag florets thawed
- rice for serving
Instructions
Prep:
- Begin to cook 4 servings of rice following the package directions.
- In a lidded jar, combine all the sauce ingredients. Seal with the lid and shake vigorously.
- Cut chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper on all sides. Set aside.
Stir-fry:
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook them for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Once cooked, remove them from the pan onto a plate and set them aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and once it is hot, add the broccoli florets. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes. If using frozen broccoli florets, you can microwave them for the time listed on the bag, and add them to the pan hot with the chicken.
- Return the chicken to the pan with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli and stir to coat everything with the sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer it, stirring, for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the chicken and broccoli with the cooked rice.
Notes
- The sauce must come to a boil in order for the cornstarch to work as a thickening agent. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. If you want more sauce, add up to ½ cup warm water to the pan and mix to combine.
