Broccoli Ginger Chicken (Stir Fry) INGREDIENTS ▢ 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces ▢ 1 tbsp + 1 tsp vegetable oil ▢ 2 1/2 cups small broccoli florets ▢ 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger ▢ 1 tsp minced garlic ▢ 1/4 cup oyster sauce ▢ 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth can also use water ▢ 1 tsp sugar ▢ 2 tsp sesame oil ▢ 1 tsp soy sauce ▢ 2 tsp cornstarch ▢ salt and pepper to taste INSTRUCTIONS 1. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until broccoli is tender. 2. Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds more. 3. Remove the vegetables from the pan; place them on a plate and cover to keep warm. 4. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil. 5. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and add them to the pan in a single layer - you may need to do this step in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. 5. Add the broccoli mixture back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until the vegetables are warmed through. In a bowl whisk together the oyster sauce, chicken broth, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and cornstarch. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables and bring to a boil; cook for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken. Serve immediately, with rice if desired.
