Equipment

• 1 Small saucepan
• 1 Mixing spoon
• 1 Large Skillet
• 1 Knife and cutting board
• measuring spoons

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 1/2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lbs Thinly sliced chicken breast
• 2 heads Broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup Chicken broth
• 1/2 cup Reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 inch Fresh ginger, minced
• 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional toppings: sesame seeds, green onions

Instructions

 

• In a small saucepan, combine broth, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and pepper to make the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often to prevent boiling. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the sauce thickens, reduces by 2/3, and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute.
• While the sauce simmers, season sliced chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add oil, and let it become hot. Cook chicken slices for 30-60 seconds per side, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Repeat in batches if necessary. Retain the chicken juices in the pan, add broccoli, and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. If needed, add a splash of broth to aid in steaming. Reintroduce the chicken to the pan, avoiding the chicken juices, and mix to combine.
• Pour in the prepared sauce, ensuring everything is well-coated. Mix thoroughly. Top with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired. Serve the chicken and broccoli stir-fry with your preferred sides. Enjoy!

Notes

For even cooking, ensure uniform thickness when slicing the chicken. Adjust cooking time accordingly based on thickness.

Customize your meal by serving the chicken and broccoli stir-fry with rice, noodles, or your preferred side dish.

Tailor the heat by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes in the sauce. Add more for a spicier kick or reduce for a milder flavor.
