Broccoli Chicken Stir Fry

Ingredients

For The Chicken

  • 1½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
  • 1½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes

For The Sauce

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar

For The Veggies

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 1 tsp ginger

Instructions

For The Chicken

  • Combine the chicken breast strips, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt and red pepper flakes in a medium size bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.

For The Sauce

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.

For The Veggies

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add in 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add in the broccoli and carrots and stir fry until crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Keep the broccoli moving so it doesn’t burn.
  • Add in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove veggies from pan to a large bowl and set aside. Return the skillet or wok to the heat and add in the marinated chicken breast strips.
  • Cook the chicken on high heat, stirring often, until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in the sauce and cooked veggies and toss to coat. The cornstarch from the chicken breast should help to thicken the sauce as it heats up.*
  • Serve hot over rice or noodles. Enjoy!
Notes

*If you would like the sauce to be thicker, simply mix up 1 tsp of water with 1 tsp of cornstarch and pour this into the stir fry. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens more.
