This quick recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal, offering a nutritious and satisfying option that the whole family will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the broccoli and cut into bite-sized florets.
- Slice the onion into thin pieces.
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts into even strips for quick and uniform cooking.
- Boil a pot of water and blanch the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes until they are vibrant green and slightly tender. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed onions.
- Add the blanched broccoli florets to the mixture.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and soy sauce over the chicken-broccoli mixture.
- Stir everything well to ensure the sauce evenly coats the chicken, broccoli, and onions.
- Continue to cook the stir-fry over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for another 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
Tips:
- For a burst of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in soy sauce and a bit of ginger and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To retain the vibrant green color and crunchiness of the broccoli, blanch it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes before stir-frying.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas to enhance the dish's nutritional value and add more color.
- Ensure that your pan or wok is hot before adding the ingredients to achieve a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve the stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
