Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)
  • For the sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil if needed and stir-fry broccoli for 3–4 minutes until just tender.
  4. Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce.
  6. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats everything, about 2–3 minutes.

Notes

  • Use frozen broccoli if needed—just thaw and pat dry.
  • Marinate chicken briefly in soy sauce and cornstarch for added tenderness.
  • Add more vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for variety.
  • Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for low-carb option.
