Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (minced)
- 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
- 0.5 cup Peanuts (unsalted, roasted)
- 2 tbsp Water
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer 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.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and toasted sesame oil to create the stir-fry sauce.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the roasted peanuts to the skillet and toss to combine. Remove from heat.
Serve the stir fry over cooked white or brown rice and enjoy immediately.
