Description
A comforting dish that combines tender chicken and vibrant broccoli in a savory sauce, perfect for a cozy evening.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or a gluten-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
- Add broccoli and aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly. Follow with broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring everything together for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve over cooked rice or noodles, ensuring each plate is coated in the sauce.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan for even cooking. Adjust sauce thickness to your preference. Make it gluten-free with tamari and gluten-free oyster sauce.
