Hey there, Foodies! I’m sharing a fantastic recipe with you today for a delicious and healthy Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry. This dish is loaded with flavor and vibrant color that will surely capture everyone’s attention on the dinner table.

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

– A head of broccoli, broken down into 2 cups of lovely little florets

– A pound of juicy, boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size 1-inch pieces

– 2 teaspoons of cornstarch (your secret weapon for a glossy, thick sauce)

– 2 teaspoons of finely chopped, aromatic ginger

– A cup of chicken broth, divided

– 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped for a punch of flavor

– 3 tablespoons of savory soy sauce

– 2 teaspoons of sugar to balance the saltiness

 

Now, let’s get cooking!

1. Grab your 12-inch nonstick skillet and give it a light misting with cooking spray. Heat this over a medium-high flame.
2. Toss in your chicken, garlic, and ginger, letting them sizzle and dance in the pan for about 2 to 3 minutes until your chicken turns a lovely golden brown. The aroma will be irresistible!
3. Pour in 3/4 cup of the chicken broth, add the soy sauce and sugar. Stir it all together, cover, and let it simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Remember to give it a couple of stirs during this time.
4. Time for the star of the show – add your broccoli florets to the pan. Cover and let it cook for another 5 minutes, giving the occasional stir, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the broccoli is crisp-tender.
5. Now, take your cornstarch and mix it with the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth. Stir this slurry into your chicken and broccoli mixture. Keep stirring until your sauce has thickened beautifully.
