Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, and honey to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the ingredients.

Step 8

Remove from heat. If desired, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 9

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
