|
|
|

|
|
- 1 lb chicken breast, (boneless skinless), cut into 3/4" pieces

||
|
|
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil, (I used extra light olive oil), divided

## Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients {#stir-fry-sauce-ingredients}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
|
||
|
|
- 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce, (use Tamari for gluten free), or added to taste
|
||
|
|
- 2 Tbsp light brown sugar, packed (or honey to taste)
|
||
|
|
- 1 Tbsp corn starch
|
||
|
|
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
|
||
|
|
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated (lightly packed)
|
||
|
|
- 1 tsp garlic (2 small cloves), grated
|
||
|
|
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, plus more to season chicken
|
||
|
|
|

|

|
|
## Instructions {#instructions}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk to dissolve sugar and corn starch (warm broth will help dissolve the sugar faster). Set sauce aside.
|
||
|
|
2. Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces (no more than 3/4” thick) and season lightly with pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil. Add chicken in a single layer and let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute to get a good sear then stir fry for another 5 minutes or until golden brown just cooked through then remove to a bowl and loosely cover to keep warm.
|
||
|
|
3. In the same skillet, add another 1 Tbsp oil along with broccoli florets, sliced onion and sliced mushrooms. Stir fry 3 minutes or until mushrooms are softened and broccoli is crisp-tender then reduce heat to medium/low.
|
||
|
|
4. Give the sauce a quick stir in case there was any settling of starch and pour all of it over the vegetables. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until sauce is thickened and garlic and ginger are mellowed in flavor. To thin the sauce, add water a tablespoon at a time.

|
|
5. Return chicken to the pan and stir another 30 seconds or until heated through. Add more soy sauce to taste if needed and serve over hot rice.
