Chinese Spicy Stir Fry Chicken With Broccoli Recipes

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI (CHINESE TAKEOUT STYLE)

Steps:

• Slice the chicken against the grain into thin bite-size pieces, no thicker than 1/4" (1/2 cm), transfer into a medium-size bowl. Add the marinade ingredients. Stir to mix well. Let sit for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
• Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Stir to mix well.
• Bring 1/3 cup of water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cover. Steam until the broccoli just turns tender and the water evaporates, about 40 to 50 seconds. Transfer the broccoli to a plate. Wipe the pan with a paper towel held in a pair of tongs if there's any water left.
• Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Spread the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Allow to cook without touching for 30 seconds, or until the bottom side is browned. Flip to cook the other side for a few seconds. Stir and cook until the surface is lightly charred and the inside is still pink.
• Add the garlic and ginger. Stir a few times to release the flavor and fragrance.
• Return the broccoli to the pan. Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely and pour it into the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer everything to a plate immediately.
• Serve hot with steamed rice or boiled noodles as a main dish.
