Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water for thickening the sauce
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary and toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring well to combine.
  5. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and broccoli.
Serving
  1. Serve the Delicious Chicken Broccoli over hot cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
