Ingredientes

1 lb chicken breast (boneless skinless), cut into 3/4" pieces)

2 Tbsp cooking oil (I used extra light olive oil), divided)

1 lb broccoli (cut into florets (about 5 cups)

1 small yellow onion (sliced into strips)

1/2 lb white button mushrooms (thickly sliced)

2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth

3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce (use Tamari for gluten free), or added to taste)

2 Tbsp light brown sugar (packed (or honey to taste)

1 Tbsp corn starch

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp fresh ginger (peeled and grated (lightly packed)

1 tsp garlic (2 small cloves) (grated)

1/4 tsp black pepper (plus more to season chicken)

Instrucciones

Make the Sauce - In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk to dissolve sugar and corn starch (warm broth will help dissolve the sugar faster). Set sauce aside.

Prepare Chicken - cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces (no more than 3/4” thick) and season lightly with pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil. Add chicken in a single layer and let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute to get a good sear then stir fry for another 5 minutes or until golden brown just cooked through then remove to a bowl and loosely cover to keep warm.

Stir Fry Veggies - In the same skillet, add another 1 Tbsp oil along with broccoli florets, sliced onion and sliced mushrooms. Stir fry 3 minutes or until mushrooms are softened and broccoli is crisp-tender then reduce heat to medium/low.

Add Sauce - Give the sauce a quick stir in case there was any settling of starch and pour all of it over the vegetables. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until sauce is thickened and garlic and ginger are mellowed in flavor. To thin the sauce, add water a tablespoon at a time.

Combine and Serve - Return chicken to the pan and stir another 30 seconds or until heated through. Add more soy sauce to taste if needed and serve over hot rice.
