15 Minute Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
• 2 tbsp canola oil, divided
• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1/3 cup chicken broth, or water
• 3 cups broccoli, cut into 1-inch pieces

Stir Fry Sauce

• 1/3 cup soy sauce, low sodium recommended
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tsp cornstarch

Serving garnishes – optional

• green onion, minced
• sesame seeds

Instructions 

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, honey and cornstarch. Set aside.
2. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil followed by the chicken pieces.
3. Fry the chicken pieces for 2 minutes until golden on one side. Flip the pieces to allow the other side to brown, about 2 minutes more.
4. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 minutes until fragrant, and then add the broccoli and chicken broth.
5. Cover the pan with a lid and allow to cook for 3 minutes until bright green and barely softened.
6. Remove the lid and add the reserved sauce to the pan. 
7. Simmer for a minute until the sauce is thick enough to just coat the chicken.
8. Remove from heat, garnish with optional green onions. Serve and enjoy!
