Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce or to taste
  • 1.5 Tbsp Argo Corn Starch
  • 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1.5 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil or light olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions only white and light green portion
  • 1 Tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbsp peeled and minced garlic
  • 5 cups small broccoli florets
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • Sesame seeds for serving (optional)
  • White or brown rice for serving

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Argo Corn Starch, chicken broth, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil until smooth. Set it aside; this will be the flavor base for your stir fry.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in your wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the chopped green onions, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the small broccoli florets to the pan, stirring them into the aromatics. Pour in the 3 tablespoons of water to create steam, and cover the pan for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the broccoli to become tender but still crisp.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan, and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir everything together until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish or bowl. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot over a bed of white or brown rice. Enjoy your hearty and delicious Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry!
