  • Whisk
  • Cup

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons oil canola, vegetable, or oil of choice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced or grated (optional)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms white, baby bella, or shiitake

For the Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar/sweetener of choice
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili paste optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by washing your broccoli and slicing the mushrooms. This is a crucial step. Having everything prepped saves time when you’re at the stove.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set all ingredients in clear view. A small bowl for the sauce is also handy.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

  • In a bowl, whisk together the honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sriracha if you like a kick. This sauce is easy to customize. If you want it sweeter, add more honey. If you want it spicier? Don’t hold back on the chili paste.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 4: Add Veggies

  • Once the chicken is done, add the minced garlic, ginger, and sliced mushrooms. Toss everything together, allowing the mushrooms to soften for about 3 minutes. Broccoli goes in last.

Step 5: Incorporate Broccoli

  • Now, add the broccoli. Stir and cook for another 3-5 minutes. You want to hear a sizzle. The broccoli should be vibrant green but still slightly crunch.

Step 6: Add Sauce

  • Pour the sauce into the pan. Toss everything to coat. The sauce will thicken quickly because of the cornstarch. You are looking for a glossy finish to your chicken and veggies.

Step 7: Serve

  • Once everything is coated and heated through, it’s time to serve up your stir fry! You can serve it over rice or noodles, or enjoy it plain for a low-carb option.

Notes

  • Adjust for spice: If you love heat, feel free to kick up the chili paste.
  • Keep it fresh: Use fresh veggies for best taste and nutrition.
  • Batch it up: This stir fry can be doubled for meal prep or to feed a crowd.
  • Don’t overcook the broccoli: Keep it bright and crunchy for better texture.
  • Sauté in batches: If you’re making a large amount, consider cooking in batches to prevent steaming.
