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)
  • 12 tbsp fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Soy sauce glaze (1/3 to 1/2 cup total)


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1–2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Warm until shimmering.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. 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.
  4. Push the chicken to one side, add the broccoli florets, and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce glaze and toss everything together. Cook for 2–3 more minutes until glossy and heated through.
  6. 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.
