Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and the chicken strips. Mix well and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the broccoli by washing it thoroughly and cutting it into bite-sized florets.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, water, honey, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken strips and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce over the top and stir everything together to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or noodles if desired.
