Healthy Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry: An Incredible 7-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced
– 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
– 2 teaspoons minced garlic
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (as a thickener)


Instructions

Creating Healthy Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry is simple. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse and cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips for even cooking.
2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even browning and cooking. The chicken should be white and no longer pink inside.
4. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Stir in Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the broccoli to become bright green and tender-crisp.
6. Add Sauces: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), stirring well to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly.
7. Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Final Stir: Mix everything well, allowing the flavors to meld for about 1 minute before removing it from heat.

Following these easy steps will help you nail this fantastic stir-fry!
