Savory Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Cooked rice (4 cups, for serving)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Chicken broth (1/2 cup)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Fresh ginger, grated (1 tablespoon)
• Garlic, minced (3 cloves)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
• Broccoli florets (4 cups)
• Chicken breast, sliced (1 pound)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Whisk together until smooth and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender but still crisp.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli.
6. Stir well to coat all the ingredients in the sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and become glossy.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the chicken and broccoli stir fry over the cooked rice, garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
9. Enjoy this quick and delicious dish!
