Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound chicken breast (about 2 breasts), cubed
3 scallions, whites only, thinly sliced on a bias
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3/4 to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, optional
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
Ttoasted sesame seeds, for serving, optional
Jasmine rice, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the scallion whites, sugar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, about half the garlic, half the ginger, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/3 cup water in a small bowl and reserve.

Stir-fry until the chicken loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce, return the broccoli to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil to thicken. Add more water if need to thin the sauce, if necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you like.

Add the broccoli and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until the broccoli is crisp-tender and still bright green, about 4 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and let cool completely.
  • Transfer the broccoli with the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Squeeze out most of the air and seal, then toss gently to coat the chicken with the marinade. Freeze until ready to use. Thaw in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before cooking.
  • Pour the chicken, broccoli and marinade into a large skillet and heat over high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the chicken and broccoli among 4 plates. Serve with rice and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut your chicken, broccoli, and other vegetables before you start cooking. This will save you time and help you avoid scrambling when everything is cooking at once.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry your ingredients without overcrowding them. If you don't have a large skillet or wok, you can use a regular saucepan, but you may need to cook your ingredients in batches.
  • Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking. If your pan is not hot enough, the chicken and vegetables will release their juices and make your stir-fry soggy.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet or wok first: This will give it time to brown before adding the vegetables. Stir-fry the chicken for a few minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Add the vegetables: Add the vegetables to the skillet or wok and stir-fry for a few minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crunchy. You can add the vegetables all at once, or you can add them in stages, depending on how quickly they cook.
  • Season the stir-fry: Season the stir-fry with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles: Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles for a complete meal. You can also serve it with a side of steamed vegetables or spring rolls.

Conclusion:

Chicken and broccoli stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying stir-fry on the table in no time.
