Ingredients
Sauce
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce tamari or coconut aminos may be substituted to keep GF
- ¼ cup chicken broth I use reduced sodium
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves finely minced
- 2 tablespoons honey (honey recommended, but 2 tbsp brown sugar may be substituted)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 rounded teaspoon freshly grated ginger (3/4 teaspoon ground dried ginger may be substituted)
Stir Fry
- 2 tablespoons oil divided (I use olive oil; canola or vegetable oil may be substituted)
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium white onion sliced into 1/2-inch wide pieces (yellow onion may be substituted)
- 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms or sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 14 to 16 ounces broccoli florets (about 5 cups)
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds optional for garnishing
Instructions
- Sauce - To a small bowl, add all the ingredients, and whisk to combine; set aside. Tip - Wondering what to do if you don't have one of the ingredients on hand? See the FAQs in the blog post.
- Stir Fry - To a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of the oil, add the chicken, season with pepper, and saute over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until chicken is done. Stir and flip frequently to ensure even cooking. When chicken is done, use a slotted spoon to remove it and set it on a plate. Leave any grease or cooking juices in the bottom of the pan.
- Add the additional tablespoon of oil along with the onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and saute for about 4-5 minutes, or until vegetables are becoming tender. Stir and flip frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Evenly pour the sauce and allow it to bubble and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, or until beginning to thicken. Stir to combine and coat everything evenly.
- Add the chicken back in, stir to incorporate and to coat evenly, and rewarm, about 1 minute. Taste the dish, and if necessary you can add salt, to taste if desired or make any other seasoning adjustments.
- Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Notes
- Storage: Recipe is best served warm and fresh but leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. I've never frozen this because I am not a fan of broccoli that's been frozen/thawed/reheated, but you could try freezing it for up to 3 months. Reheat leftovers gently in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or as desired.
