CHICKEN BROCCOLI STIR FRY (EXTRA SAUCE!)
Recipe video above. This is just about the minimum ingredients you can use to make a great stir fry that still really stacks up to real Chinese take out! Extra saucy is how I like this - because broccoli florets have a tendency to hold lots of sauce but I still want some to soak my rice.Shortcut using Charlie - see Note 5 (the sauce in this recipe is basically Charlie!).

Steps:
- First mix the sauce: Mix 1/2 chicken broth, 4-1/2 t soy sauce, 1 T sugar, 1 T cornstarch, 1 T apple cider vinegar and a dash of red pepper flakes in a bowl. Set aside for now.
- Beat the egg and 1-1/2 t soy sauce in one bowl. Put about 1/4 c cornstarch in another bowl.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture then coat with cornstarch. Fry until golden brown and crispy about 5 minutes or so depending on how big your chicken pieces are. May have to add a bit more oil. Remove chicken from pan to a bowl with paper towels to drain while you cook the veggies.
- Add veggies to the same oil you cooked the chicken inches If there is too much oil, you can drain it off. You just need enough to basically coat the bottom of your pan. Stir fry the veggies for a few minutes until heated through. If using frozen veggies, you might have to cook a bit longer or thaw first.
- Remix the sauce mixture as the cornstarch will settle to the bottom of the bowl. Add to veggies and stir well. This will thicken up nicely.
- Add the chicken back to the veggie/sauce mixture. Add the pineapple chunks. Cook til chicken is warmed back up.
- Serve over rice, noodles, or spaghetti squash.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry is cooked evenly.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-fries because it allows you to cook the food quickly and evenly. If you don't have a wok or large skillet, you can use a regular frying pan, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- Heat Your Wok or Skillet Over High Heat: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
- Use a Little Oil: Stir-fries are typically made with a small amount of oil. This helps to keep the food from sticking and also adds flavor.
- Stir Constantly: Stirring the food constantly will help to prevent it from burning and ensure that it is cooked evenly.
- Don't Overcook the Food: Stir-fries are best when the food is cooked quickly and still has a bit of crunch.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the food.
Conclusion:
Broccoli Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of broccoli, chicken, and sauce is delicious and satisfying.
