  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 17 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece ginger, grated
– ⅓ cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (to thicken the sauce)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
– Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Making Chicken & Broccoli Bowls is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into uniform bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

2. Heat Oil: In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

5. Add Broccoli: Throw in the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender. If using frozen broccoli, cook until heated through.

6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.

7. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and honey (or maple syrup). Pour the mixture over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to coat everything well.

8. Thicken Sauce: Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, which should take about 1-2 minutes.

9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add extra soy sauce or sweetener based on your preference.

10. Serve: Serve the chicken and broccoli hot over cooked rice or quinoa, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

These straightforward steps ensure you have a flavorful and satisfying meal ready in no time!
