Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium chicken broth, low-sodium soy sauce, and cornstarch until well combined. Set this sauce mixture aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sesame oil.

Step 6

Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper to the skillet, and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 9

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Add the sliced green onions and season everything with black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Serve the stir fry hot over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa if desired.
