Classic Chicken and Broccoli

About This Recipe:

Chicken and broccoli is one of my favorite Chinese-American dishes. It really only requires 2 main ingredients, and can be prepared in under 30 minutes! I never order this dish at restaurants because it’s so easy to make at home, and I look forward to plenty of leftovers. And the best part of making it at home is that you can make EXTRA sauce for your bowl of rice!

Enjoy!

Ingredients (4 servings)
-1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
-1.25 lbs chicken breast, thinly sliced
-4 garlic cloves, minced
-4 cups cooked jasmine rice
-Vegetable oil

Sauce
-2 tbls soy sauce
-1 tbl oyster sauce
-1 tbl rice wine vinegar
-1 tbl cornstarch
-2 tsps sugar
-1/2 cup water

Instructions (25 minutes) 
1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water to prevent overcooking.
2. In a large skillet over high heat, pour in 1-2 tbls of vegetable oil. Sear the chicken slices for 2-3 minutes per side until fully cooked, and then transfer to a dish.
3. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and cook the garlic for 1 minute. In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients and pour into the skillet. Let the sauce thicken for a few minutes.
5. Stir in the chicken and broccoli and coat in the sauce. Serve over rice.
