Chicken Broccoli Stir-fry

Recipe By - Natasha's kitchen

Ingredients

Chicken and Broccoli:

• 500 gms chicken breast (boneless skinless), cut into 3/4" pieces

• 2 Tbsp cooking oil (I used extra light olive oil), divided

• 500 gms broccoli cut into florets (about 5 cups)

• 1 small yellow onion sliced into strips

• 500 gms white button mushrooms thickly sliced

Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup chicken stock

• 3 Tbsp soy sauce or added to taste

• 2 Tbsp light brown sugar or honey to taste

• 1 Tbsp corn starch

• 1 Tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated

• 1 tsp garlic (2 small cloves) grated

• 1/4 tsp black pepper plus more to season chicken

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk to dissolve sugar and corn starch (warm broth will help dissolve the sugar faster). Set sauce aside.

2. Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces (no more than 3/4” thick) and season lightly with pepper.

3. Heat a large heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil.

4. Add chicken in a single layer and let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute to get a good sear then stir fry for another 5 minutes or until golden brown just cooked through then remove to a bowl and loosely cover to keep warm.

5. In the same skillet, add another 1 Tbsp oil along with broccoli florets, sliced onion and sliced mushrooms. Stir fry 3 minutes or until mushrooms are softened and broccoli is crisp-tender then reduce heat to medium/low.

6. Give the sauce a quick stir in case there was any settling of starch and pour all of it over the vegetables.

7. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until sauce is thickened and garlic and ginger are mellowed in flavor. To thin the sauce, add water a tablespoon at a time.

8. Return chicken to the pan and stir another 30 seconds or until heated through.

9. Add more soy sauce to taste if needed and serve over hot rice.
