Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
  • Steamed rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss sliced chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining oil and stir-fry broccoli for 2–3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and water or broth. Mix well.
  5. Add cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli.
  6. Serve hot over steamed rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs for extra tenderness.
  • Add bell peppers or snow peas for variety.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free oyster sauce.
