Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
This Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry is a quick, flavorful dish featuring tender chicken pieces, crisp broccoli, and a savory-sweet sauce. Perfect over rice or noodles, it’s a balanced meal that’s easy to make for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp soy sauce for sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth divided
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 tsp cornstarch divided
- 2 tsp ginger finely chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
- cooking spray to prevent sticking
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, 3/4 cup chicken broth, sugar, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Add the chicken pieces along with garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.
- Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the browned chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Add the broccoli florets, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth with the remaining cornstarch to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
For a touch of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the ginger. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
