Description
A quick and healthy chicken and broccoli stir fry with a savory sauce, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add a splash of water if needed to steam slightly.
- Return chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Serve hot over cooked rice.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a variation.
- Adjust spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
- Use fresh broccoli for best texture, but frozen can be used in a pinch.
