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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
One 2-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups small broccoli florets
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Cooked white rice, chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds black pepper in a large microwave-safe bowl. 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.

Stir-Fry Sauce

  • Use light or dark cooking oil to make your frying oil. Both function well, and each results in a distinct appearance. For a crispier skin, use light-colored cooking oil; for a richer, darker color on your chicken, use dark cooking oil.
  • Use a wok or big skillet with tall sides to keep the majority of the ingredients within the pan as they are stirred about.
  • Use fresh chicken breast for the greatest results. Use the chicken breast in its original state, cut into 1-inch cubes, or thinly sliced. The cooking time will be cut in half if you use thinly sliced chicken breast slices.
  • Use a variety of broccoli florets. Broccoli florets come in a variety of sizes and can be cut in a variety of ways. Any cut or size of broccoli florets, from medium-large florets to little florets, works well in this recipe.
  • Stir-fry veggies or tastes of your choice may be added. There are a variety of tastes and textures that may be added to this meal to make it your own. For a little heat, use ginger, red chili peppers, or crushed red peppers. For extra umami, add a splash of sesame oil or a pinch of Chinese five-spice powder. To make your dish more nutritious, add baby corn, bamboo shoots, or water chestnuts.
  • Conclusion

  • Make your chicken and broccoli a healthier option by serving it with brown rice rather than white rice. Brown rice has more nutritional content, including more protein and more vitamins, and it will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
  • You may give this meal a personalized touch by substituting chicken thigh for chicken breast or adding various veggies like onions, carrots, or snow peas. Serve it with a side of rice or noodles, along with a sweet and tangy dipping.
