Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 cups cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to make the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Cut broccoli into small florets and rinse under cold water. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips to the pan and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, until completely cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir-fry for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they turn bright green and begin to soften slightly.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, pouring the reserved stir-fry sauce over the top. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and broccoli.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, alongside cooked white rice, if desired.
