Description
A healthy and delicious chicken and broccoli stir-fry recipe that’s quick and easy to prepare. Perfect for busy weeknights or as a nutritious meal prep option.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
3. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, and ground ginger.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
7. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
Notes
Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a variation.
Add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for more color and flavor.
Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
