Steps:
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying. Mix the salt and pepper with the cornflour and toss the chicken strips in the cornflour until completely coated.
- When the oil is hot, tip the chicken in and fry until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in two batches. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the pan and place in a bowl lined with kitchen roll to soak up excess fat.
- There should still be left some oil in the pan at this point. You need about 1 tbsp, so carefully discard some if you have more than that.
- Take the wok off the heat or turn it down very low and add in the ginger and garlic (the garlic will burn if you have it on a high heat), give it a stir for 30 seconds and then add the broccoli and chopped chilli to the pan.
- Fry for a 2-3 minutes, so it's warmed through but still crisp. Then remove the broccoli from the wok.
- Mix the lime juice, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl, then pour onto the wok.
- Turn up the heat and let it bubble for a couple of minutes until the sauce starts to reduce and thicken (see note below if using tamari).
- Add the chicken and broccoli back in, give it a stir and heat through for 1 minute, then serve with boiled rice. Garnish with the spring onions and more chopped chillies.

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, mustard, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss. Let sit 10 minutes.
- Toss the broccoli, tomatoes, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the upper oven rack until the broccoli is tender and browned and the tomatoes burst, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the panko, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and dip in the panko mixture to coat completely.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the bottom oven rack; bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve with the vegetables and rice. Photograph by Antonis Achilleos
CRISPY CHICKEN-AND-BROCCOLI SALAD
You will never again have trouble getting your family to eat broccoli once you serve them this main dish salad. A satisfying meal that is simple to make, preparing this quick summer salad recipe allows you more family time and less time in the kitchen prepping and cooking. There are so many tastes and textures going on in this salad. It is slightly creamy, tangy, and crunchy - there's something in there that will please everyone. The addition of fresh grapes might seem odd if you've never lived in the South, but they are a traditional part of broccoli salad and add a fresh crunch and a little sweetness. Add the chicken after the salad has a chance to marinate so it stays crispy. Purchase fried chicken tenders from the deli section of your supermarket or you can pick some up from your favorite fast food chain. This recipe makes an ideal addition to the menu for an outdoor picnic, barbecue, church potluck or even the Thanksgiving table. Do you like to play with your food? Use the fried chicken and broccoli combination as a base and switch up your other fillings. Add cranberries, toasted pecans or almonds, halved cherry tomatoes, diced apples, shallots instead of red onion, or a number of other ingredients. This salad just gets better the longer it sits, which means leftovers are fantastic. Before the family eats it all, package some up for your lunch the next day. You need to let this salad chill before adding the chicken, which makes this a great make-ahead recipe. If you need to take a dish to party, try this recipe; simply wait until you arrive before adding in the chicken.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI
Both the chicken and broccoli get pan seared in this stir fry recipe. Serve with white or brown rice. NOTE: If you are like me and freeze your ginger, then grate it, you should use less for this recipe, about 1 teaspoon.

- In another small bowl (or jar) combine the chicken stock with 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch, set aside.
- Heat a large skillet, or wok, over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until shimmering.
- Add broccoli and stir fry until the florets start to brown, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl.

Steps:
- Cook vegetables- chop into small bite size pieces and then set aside.
- Clean and rinse chicken breasts; chop into small pieces and cook in a heated frying pan with the EVOO, salt and pepper, garlic and onion.
- In a blender, combine 1/2 of the bag of shredded cheese, mushroom soup once blended combine in a large mixing bowl with the veggies and the chicken once it is nearly cooked (if its not all the way done that's okay because you will be cooking it in the oven for 30 minutes and you don't want the chickent to be too tough)
- Add cooked rice last to your 9x11 pan- again if the rice is a bit under done it will be okay because you have to bake this once it is mixed together for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees- you don't want it to get mushy.
- In another small bowl combine hot melted butter and croutons until the croutons are basically reduced to buttery bread crumbs- I had to use a hard spoon to mash them down in order to get them to the right consistency. Add the remaining cheese to the buttery crushed croutons.
- Once you put the complete mixture in the 9x11 pan sprinkle the crouton cheese mix on top of the casserole and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
- Top should be golden brown and crispy.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are ideal for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them thin so they cook evenly.
- Make sure the chicken is dry before cooking: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before dredging it in the cornstarch mixture. This will help the coating adhere to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the chicken plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the chicken brown and crisp up quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to prevent it from steaming instead of frying.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the sauce while the chicken is cooking: This will save you time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready to serve when the chicken is done.
- Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Crispy chicken with broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken is coated in a flavorful cornstarch mixture and fried until golden brown, then tossed in a savory sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger. The broccoli is blanched until tender-crisp and added to the chicken at the end. Serve this dish over rice or noodles for a complete meal that your whole family will enjoy.
