Ingredients

Chicken

1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
½ teaspoon salt and pepper each
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Broccoli

2 tablespoon vegetable oil divided
2 cups broccoli florets
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon ginger paste

Stir-fry sauce

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt and pepper each

Garnish

2 tablespoon sliced green onion

Serve with

2 cups cooked stir-fry noodles (or rice) warm

Instructions

Pat dry the chicken pieces then season them with salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
Toss chicken until well coated, then set it aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil.
Add chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until they are cooked through.
Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add remaining tablespoon of oil.
Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add grated ginger and garlic and sauté for a minute.
Meanwhile, prepare the stir-fry sauce. In a bowl, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Pour the sauce over broccoli and bring to a rolling boil; the mixture will start to thicken.
Transfer chicken back to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
Garnish the chicken and broccoli stir-fry with green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve over warm cooked noodles to enjoy.

Notes

Adjust the cornstarch slurry quantity according to how thick or thin you want the stir fry sauce to be.
It's also a good reminder to taste the dish and adjust the salt accordingly, as different soy sauce brands may vary in their sodium content.
For added flavor, try using sesame oil in place of vegetable oil. Or you can also add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to your noodles after cooking.
