Here’s a quick and flavorful Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry recipe — perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner.

🍗🥦 Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for flavor)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, sliced (optional)
• ½ cup chicken broth or water

Sauce:

• ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp water (to mix with cornstarch)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

1. Prep sauce

• In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water). Set aside.

2. Cook chicken

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken slices and stir-fry 5–6 minutes until cooked through.
• Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

3. Cook broccoli

• In the same pan, add 1 tbsp oil.
• Stir-fry broccoli (and onion if using) for 3–4 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Pour in chicken broth or water and cover for 2 minutes to steam broccoli until tender-crisp.

4. Combine

• Return chicken to the pan.
• Pour sauce over the chicken and broccoli.
• Stir well and cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.

5. Serve

• Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.
• Optional garnish: sesame seeds or sliced green onions.

✨ Tips & Variations

• Vegetable mix: add bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms.
• Spicy: add sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
• Protein swap: shrimp, beef, or tofu work well instead of chicken.
• Meal prep: keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking chicken.
• Extra flavor: marinate chicken in 1 tbsp soy sauce + 1 tsp sesame oil for 15 minutes before cooking.

I can also give a 5-minute high-heat air-fryer / wok version for even faster cooking. Do you want me to do that?
