Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger. Set them aside together.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and toss in the broccoli florets. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the broccoli.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
