Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

Certainly one of my favorite dishes, easy, fast, and delicious!

Believe me, you’ll never want to eat stir-fry ordered from the local restaurant again. This recipe is also healthier, full of broccoli and “real” chicken, versus the mysterious sauce-filled part of the restaurant.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of cubed chicken breast
• 1 head of broccoli 
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced 
• 3 tablespoons of oil 
• Salt and pepper 

For the sauce :

• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped 
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced 
• 2 teaspoons of sesame oil 
• ⅓ cup of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar 
• 1 cup chicken broth 
• ¼ cup of flour

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, heat 1 spoonful of oil. 
2. Season and brown the chicken on all sides. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra oil and add the mushrooms. Once softened, add the broccoli and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crunchy. Set aside.
4. Add the remaining oil and cook the garlic and ginger for a few minutes.
5.  Add the sauce ingredients and mix until smooth.
6. Return chicken and vegetables to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
7. Serve with rice of your choice.

Note: This recipe makes 6 servings.
