FOR THE SAUCE
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup flour
Instructions
- In a large pan on medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove cooked chicken and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add mushrooms. Cook till soft and then add broccoli florets. Continue to cook until broccoli is tender, approximately 4 minutes. Remove veggies from pan and set aside.
- Add final tablespoon of oil to the pan and garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce into the pan and stir until smooth (with a whisk is best).
- Return chicken and vegetables back to the pan, and cook until heated through.
- Serve over rice or noodles.
Notes
- You can add sliced red bell peppers, thinly sliced carrots, and water chestnuts! Add these once the mushrooms are cooked when you add broccoli.
- You can substitute 1/4 cup honey for the brown sugar.
- Want to spice things up? You can add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Want to make it gluten-free? Make a cornstarch slurry of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. Add towards the end of the cooking and cook until thickened. Then you can substitute amino acids for soy sauce.
