Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips in a single layer. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to create steam and help the broccoli cook faster.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir everything together to coat evenly. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry and sprinkle with red chili flakes, if using, for extra flavor.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy with steamed rice or noodles.
