Chinese Chicken and Broccoli
I really enjoyed this yummy Asian dish! I thought it tasted like what you would get in a restaurant! Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 1 large head of broccoli or one package frozen broccoli
- 1 tablespoon oil
MARINADE:
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
SAUCE:
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons water
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix the marinade ingredients in a small bowl – pour oven chicken.
2. Marinate the chicken while preparing the sauce and broccoli. Steam broccoli for just 3 minutes (or defrost the frozen broccoli), then set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken with marinade and ¼ cup of the sauce mixture. Sauté until chicken is golden brown, stirring frequently.
4. Add remaining sauce and the steamed broccoli. Cook for 2 minutes to thicken sauce.
Serve with rice or on its own! Or be Russian like me and enjoy it with some buckwheat! 🙂
