Easy Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry
Easy Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry is great for a quick dinner or for meal prepping. Made with only a few simple ingredients. Serve it by itself for a low carb meal or add some rice to make it more filling.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts,, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- dash of salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion,, chopped
- 2 heads broccoli,, cut into pieces
For the sauce:
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
Instructions
- Place the cubed chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix until the chicken is coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides and then lower the heat to medium. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- You may want to add more olive oil to the pan if needed. Add the onion and broccoli to the pan. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. In the meantime, mix up the sauce in a small bowl or cup.
- Add the chicken back into the pan as well as the sauce. Stir so everything is coated with sauce. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes or until the broccoli reaches the desired tenderness.
Notes
Serve for dinner either by itself or over a bed of rice or quinoa. For meal prepping, let cool and then divide into 4-5 containers and store in the refrigerator.
