Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss with the 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and the 1 head broccoli cut into florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp water. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats everything and is slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve the stir-fry over the 2 cups cooked rice. Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chili flakes if you like.

  6. 6

    Enjoy your homemade chicken and broccoli stir-fry!
