Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, warm up some canola oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers—this should take about two minutes.
Step 3
While the oil heats, take a medium bowl and toss the chicken pieces with one tablespoon of cornstarch, making sure each piece is nicely coated.
Step 4
Once the oil is ready, add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer.
Step 5
Cook the chicken, stirring frequently, until it turns golden and crispy, which should take around six minutes.
Step 6
After that, toss in the sliced onions and continue to stir until they become translucent, about one minute.
Step 7
Next, add the minced ginger and sliced garlic, stirring constantly until their delightful aroma fills the air, which should take about another minute.
Step 8
Once fragrant, transfer the chicken mixture to a plate and set it aside.
Step 9
In the same skillet, add the vibrant broccoli florets.
Step 10
Cook them over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn a bright green and are heated through, which will take about two to three minutes.
Step 11
While the broccoli is cooking, whisk together water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and the remaining two tablespoons of cornstarch in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth—this should only take about thirty seconds.
Step 12
Now, return the cooked chicken mixture to the skillet with the broccoli.
Step 13
Pour the flavorful soy sauce mixture over everything and stir constantly until everything is beautifully coated and the sauce thickens, which will take about two minutes.
Step 14
Serve your delicious Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry immediately, and enjoy every bite of this delightful dish!.
