Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
- 2 cups (150g) fresh broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the broccoli by washing it thoroughly and cutting it into bite-sized florets. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
- In a bowl, mix the sliced chicken with half of the soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once chicken is cooked through, add the broccoli florets and any remaining marinade to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green but still crisp.
- Toss everything together to ensure even coating with sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or quinoa if desired.
