Description
A quick and savory stir-fry dish with tender chicken and crisp-tender broccoli, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken (breast or thigh), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups broccoli florets (trimmed to uniform sizes)
- 1–2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced or grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Soy sauce glaze (1/3 to 1/2 cup total)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1–2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Warm until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes to get a good sear, then stir and cook another 3–5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Push the chicken to one side, add the broccoli florets, and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Pour in the soy sauce glaze and toss everything together. Cook for 2–3 more minutes until glossy and heated through.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Leftovers make a great filling for lettuce wraps or a quick stir-fry bowl.
