Description

A quick and easy Chinese takeout-style chicken and broccoli dish featuring tender chicken breast and crisp broccoli in a savory garlic sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced thinly
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chicken broth, sesame oil, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until no longer pink. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add a splash of water, cover, and steam for another 2 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
  7. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli evenly.
  8. Serve hot with steamed rice.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
  • Add bell peppers or carrots for more color and flavor.
  • Double the sauce if serving with a large amount of rice or noodles.
