Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.5 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Finely chop the garlic and grate the ginger. Slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium chicken broth, low sodium soy sauce, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the sesame oil.

Step 6

Add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until well-browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the broth and soy sauce mixture. Stir to combine everything.

Step 10

Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and mix well, allowing the sauce to thicken for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Turn off the heat and add the green parts of the green onions on top as a garnish.

Step 12

Serve the stir-fry hot, over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
