Ingredients
1-2Tablespoonsavocado or olive oil(more if needed)
Optional: sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, snap peas or bok choy, red pepper flakes
For serving: Rice, green onions, sesame seeds
Instructions
If serving with rice, start cooking the rice prior to beginning the chicken.
Place the oil in a large skillet or wok pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the broccoli, mushrooms and garlic to the pan and cook until tender. Place the veggies in a bowl and set aside.
Add more olive oil if needed to the pan. Then add the chicken to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir fry until golden browned and cooked through. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the center is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk together the broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, corn starch, garlic and ginger. Pour into pan and simmer until thickened.
Add the vegetables to the pan and cook an additional minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha for a little heat.
Serve over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days.Vegetables: Add in your favorites. Sometimes I'll just grab a bag of mixed vegetables and toss in with the broccoli.
