Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from skillet 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 just tender.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
- Serve hot over cooked rice.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
- Add bell peppers or snap peas for more veggie variety.
