Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth and 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 to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and reduce the heat slightly.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are vibrant green and slightly tender.
Step 8
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
Step 9
Pour the lemon sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined.
Step 10
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the stir-fry and give it a final toss.
Step 11
Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
