Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.3333 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 pieces green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and toss them with soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together peanut butter, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, water, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the marinated chicken strips and stir fry for 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet with the chicken. Pour in the prepared peanut sauce and toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
