Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli see notes below, if frozen broccoli is used
  • 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast. Diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • FOR THE SAUCE
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar for rice
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the broccoli. To stop the broccoli from sticking to the bottom of the pot, blanch it for five minutes. Set aside.
  3. Over medium heat, cook the chicken on both sides in a skillet. Turn the heat to medium and add the broccoli. Drain any excess water. Let the sauce thicken for about five minutes by gently pouring it in. Mix the sauce well with the ingredients.
  4. Serve over rice.
