Ingredients
Serves 2
- 2 chicken breasts (300g), diced into 2cm cubes
- 300g broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 spring onions, sliced
Method
-
Toss the diced chicken with the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Let it sit for 5 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
-
Heat the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear for 3-4 minutes, turning, until golden on all sides and almost cooked through. Remove to a plate.
-
Add the broccoli to the pan with a splash of water. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Return the chicken to the pan with the remaining soy sauce. Toss everything together for 1 minute to coat and heat through. Drizzle with the sesame oil and scatter the spring onions over the top.
