Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 300 grams Broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 units Green onions (sliced for garnish)
• 1 teaspoons Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, and set it aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil, tossing everything to coat evenly.

Step 7

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot over cooked rice, if preferred. Enjoy your Broccoli Chicken with Hoisin Sauce!
