This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal because it comes together really quickly.
Speaker A
So let's get started.
Speaker A
First, we're going to prepare our chicken.
Speaker A
I have about a pound and a half of boneless, skinless chicken breast here that I've cut into one-inch pieces.
Speaker A
And we're going to season this with a little bit of salt and pepper.
Speaker A
Just toss that around to make sure it's evenly coated.
Speaker A
Next, we're going to make our stir-fry sauce.
Speaker A
In a small bowl, combine a quarter cup of soy sauce, two tablespoons of rice vinegar, one tablespoon of sesame oil, one tablespoon of honey, and one teaspoon of grated ginger.
Speaker A
Whisk that all together until it's well combined.
Speaker A
Now, let's cook our chicken.
Speaker A
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Speaker A
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about five to seven minutes, or until it's browned and cooked through.
Speaker A
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Speaker A
In the same skillet, add two cups of broccoli florets and a quarter cup of water.
Speaker A
Cover and cook for about three to five minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
Speaker A
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the broccoli.
Speaker A
Pour in the stir-fry sauce and toss everything together to coat.
Speaker A
Cook for another one to two minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Speaker A
And that's it.
Speaker A
Your delicious chicken and broccoli stir fry is ready to serve.
Speaker A
I like to serve this over some steamed rice and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Speaker A
Enjoy.
