Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
3 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining oil to pan. Add garlic (and ginger if using), sauté 30 seconds. Add broccoli and stir-fry 2–3 minutes.
Return chicken to the pan. Stir in sauce. Cook 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli.
Serve hot over rice.
Notes
You can steam the broccoli slightly beforehand for softer texture.
Substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
Add red pepper flakes or chili paste for heat.
