Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Chinese Chicken and Broccoli recipe. Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and chop the fresh broccoli into even florets. If desired, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce and minced garlic for added flavor, allowing it to soak for about 15 minutes to enhance the taste.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of sesame oil. Once shimmering, add the marinated chicken pieces and sear them for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in the chopped broccoli and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Cook until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender yet still crisp, showcasing its vibrant color.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed broccoli. Pour in the savory sauce and stir everything together for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly.
- Finally, serve your delicious Chinese Chicken and Broccoli over a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Notes
Marinate your chicken the night before to infuse flavors and save time on busy nights. Adjust the savory sauce to your preference before combining with the chicken.
