Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces green onions
- 2 cups white or brown rice (cooked, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin bite-size strips and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the ginger and garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Stir to combine.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot over cooked white or brown rice.
