Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts sliced super thin

  • 1 head of broccoli cut into florets

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 4 TBS soy sauce

  • 2 TBS honey

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

  • 1 clove garlic, grated

  • 1/2 tsp oyster sauce

  • 1 TBS corn starch

  • Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

  • Cut the broccoli.
  • Spray a large pot with non-stick cooking spray. Saute the broccoli over a low heat while preparing the chicken. Occasionally stir the broccoli to prevent any burning.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk together the broth, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and corn starch
  • Slice the chicken breasts into very paper-thin ribbons. As you are slicing, keep adding to the sauce mixture to let the chicken marinate.
  • Once broccoli is done, remove from the pot. Add the sauce and chicken. Stir frequently so the chicken evenly cooks. Cook until chicken is firm and no longer pink.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add the cornstarch as the last item and immediately whisk it to avoid clumping. If you don’t use a whisk, you might end up with a lumpy sauce.
