Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
**Stir-Fry Sauce:**
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch slurry, and chicken broth. Set aside.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add broccoli and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
6. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir until it thickens and becomes glossy.
7. Return chicken to the pan and toss everything together to coat evenly.
8. Drizzle with sesame oil if desired, then garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
9. Serve hot over jasmine rice or noodles.
Notes
Blanch the broccoli first for even more vibrant color and crunch.
Add sliced bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for variety.
For spice, toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili oil.
Make extra sauce — it’s delicious on rice or noodles!
