chicken and broccoli stir fry with green onions

This easy Chicken Stir Fry is a super easy dinner idea for busy weeknights and is also delicious enough to share with friends and family.

The key to making things simple whenever you cook a stir fry, is to prep all of your ingredients before hand so that once you start cooking you’ve got everything ready to go (stir fry’s cook up super fast once you get the stove!).

Calories: 926kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or coconut milk or water
  • 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into thin strips against the grain
  • 2-4 cloves garlic chopped

  • 4 cups of broccoli florets

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water, stir until all the lumps are gone.
  • Add soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, coconut sugar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes, into the slurry mixture and mix until well combined. Set aside.

    I made this recipe last night it was delicious. I didn’t have scallions so I left them off. Love your recipes. I used chicken tenderloins, they were very easy to slice.

      Hi Patricia! You make the slurry and then add the rest of the sauce ingredients into the slurry mixture and whisk it all together! Hope that helps!
