Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 large head of broccoli, florets chopped in bite-sized pieces (I also peel the stem and slice it into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger garlic paste (this is a mixture of equal parts ginger and garlic pureed in a food processor or blender, along with a splash of canola oil. If you don’t want to go to the trouble, just mince one clove of garlic and a tiny knob of fresh ginger)
  • 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce of your choice
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp canola oil

Instructions

  1. Cube the chicken thighs and toss them with soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside for a few minutes while cutting the broccoli and preparing your pan.  
  2. Heat a large wok or stainless steel on to medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon of oil and add the ginger garlic paste.  Stir it quickly and add the marinated chicken.  Toss and stir vigorously (the pan and chicken should be sizzling) for several minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.  
  3. Transfer the meat to a plate and add the other tablespoon of oil to the pan.  Add the broccoli and stir quickly.  After a minute, add a splash of water to help lightweight steam the broccoli.  
  4. After another minute, add the chicken back in, along with any juices.  Add the teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds.  Toss and cook for another two minutes.  
  5. Transfer stir fry to a serving bowl and sprinkle with additional sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
