This Chicken and Broccoli recipe is one of my child’s favorite Chinese chicken stir-fry dishes. He loves the tender chicken, and he has always loved broccoli, and the savory and yummy brown sauce completes the dish.

A few years ago, I wrote a best-selling Chinese cookbook “Easy Chinese Recipes” and I talked about the techniques of making chicken tender that produces Chinese restaurant quality dishes.

Ingredients  

  • 1/2 lb (250g) chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 lb (250g) broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce:

Instructions 

  • Marinate the chicken with the cornstarch and salt. If the chicken is too dry, add a little water, so each piece of the chicken is nicely coated with the cornstarch.
  • Heat up a pot of water and bring it to boil. Cook the broccoli for 1 minute. Drained and set aside.
  • Heat up a wok or skillet on high heat, add the oil. When the oil is heated, add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic or become light brown. Add the chicken and do a few quick stirs. Add the sauce and turn the heat to low.
  • When the chicken is cooked through, add the broccoli, stir to combine well. Dish out and serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overcook the broccoli. The broccoli should be crunchy and have a bite.

    Excellent. Make this recipe often. I have also switched out chicken for finely sliced beef (flank)or shaved pork (tenderloin). Equally as delicious. Only thing I do differently is 1) double the recipe 2) use half the sugar and 3) put finely sliced scallions over the top and serve over sushi rice. This recipe is easy, delicious, and healthy.! Love itโค๏ธ

    Whipped this up late last night- needed to cook something for my daughter to bring to school today! She had specifically requested for chicken and broccoli so I found this recipe. One word: YUMMY. Smelt so good i could almost taste it while cooking, so i ended up having supper at 11pm! ? I added cut up fish cakes as well (little boss’ request). Just delicious. Making it again tonight as there wasn’t enough to go around! Thank you for the beautiful recipe.
