Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 400 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 75 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, create a marinade by mixing 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Add the chicken slices, toss to coat evenly, and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, water, sugar, and sesame oil (if using). Adjust with salt and pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water and cover for 1-2 minutes to steam the broccoli slightly.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and broccoli, and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Allow the sauce to thicken, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
