Sesame Chicken and Broccoli by Melanie Foster serves: 6	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

A simple stir-fry with a simple tasty sauce. If you’re in a hurry you can use the sauce over store-bought fried chicken too!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup

brown sugar, packed

3 tbsp

cornstarch

1 1/2 cups

low-sodium chicken broth

2 tbsp

rice vinegar

2 tbsp

soy sauce or liquid aminos

1 tbsp

dark sesame oil

1 tsp

chili-garlic paste or Sriracha

1/2 tsp

garlic powder, or 2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp

light olive or peanut oil

1 lb

chicken breast, cut into 2-inch pieces

1/2 tsp

salt

1/4 tsp

pepper

2 cups

broccoli florets

1 cup

rice, cooked

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir with a whisk until combined. Add (cold or room temp) chicken broth, vinegar, aminos, sesame oil, chili sauce and garlic powder. Stir and heat over medium-high until it just reaches a boil and is thickened. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Once the underside is golden, turn and season the other side. Add the broccoli and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender. Add a splash of water and a lid to steam it a bit if you want. Add the sauce and toss until combined, or serve on the side.
**If you want your chicken breaded, toss with a bit of flour first and add more oil to the pan to pan fry. Once cooked, remove to paper towels, wipe out pan and stir-fry the broccoli afterward.
