A quick and healthy Chicken Stir-Fry with Broccoli recipe that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and sesame oil, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
- Substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
