Easy Chicken Stir-Fry with Broccoli

A stir-fry is not only easy to make but good for you. This one uses broccoli as the centerpiece but you can substitute or add other vegetables such as snow peas, asparagus or snap peas. It's all healthy stuff and delicious.

ingredients

  • Vegetable or sesame oil to lightly coat the bottom of a deep skillet
  • 1 Clove Garlic , minced
  • 1 Small piece Fresh ginger , peeled and minced, or pinch powdered ginger
  • 3 Scallions , sliced
  • 1 Medium head Broccoli , cut into bite-size pieces with stems trimmed
  • 4 White button mushrooms , cleaned, trimmed and sliced
  • Pinch kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs , cut into chunky pieces
  • 4 Dashes Soy sauce

prep / directions

Heat skillet over medium high, then add oil to coat the pan and stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking quickly for only 15-20 seconds. Add broccoli, mushrooms and scallions and continue to cook until the mushrooms release their water, about 5 minutes. Transfer everything to a separate plate.
Add another touch of oil to the same pan and lay in the chunks of chicken. Cook over medium high heat, stirring until the meat has lost its pink color, about 5 minutes. Turn heat down to medium and add back the broccoli, mushrooms and everything else to the pan. Add soy and Tabasco sauce and stir everything together for a few more minutes. Your stir-fry is ready to eat!

I made this when I didn't have a whole lot of time, but still wanted to make a solid meal. I added some water chestnuts, snow peas and peppers to the recipe, which made it taste better, but it still would have been good without.

The beauty of this dish is that you can add or subtract any number of vegetables that go well in a quick stir-fry. Snow peas and water chestnuts are a great addition !
