Easy Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet.
Add the broccoli and bell peppers, saute for about 5 minutes. Remove the broccoli and peppers.
Add the remaining oil and chicken breast, saute for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
When chicken is done add the garlic, ginger and saute for 1 minute.
Add the vegetables back to the pan and cook an additional few minutes to warm through.
In a small bowl whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and cornstarch.
Soy sauce can be very salty to some and not to others. This is why we use low sodium soy sauce. So season the sauce with salt and pepper to your taste.
Pour the stir fry sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Saute another minute.
Serve over rice, if desired. I like to drizzle a little extra sesame oil on mine. For me, you just can’t have enough.
