Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, and honey to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the ingredients.
Remove from heat. If desired, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
