Ingredients

For the Stir Fry

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly

3 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey

1/2 cup chicken broth or water

For Serving

Cooked white or brown rice

Sesame seeds and green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chicken broth. Set aside.

  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Sauté the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  5. Serve: Spoon the stir fry over cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
