Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 3/4" pieces
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil divided
  • 1 lb broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 small yellow onion sliced into strips
  • 1/2 lb white button mushrooms thickly sliced
  • 2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce or to taste
  • 2 Tbsp light brown sugar or honey to taste
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 tsp garlic grated
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper plus more for seasoning chicken

  • Season the chicken pieces with black pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 1 minute without stirring to get a good sear. Continue to cook, stirring, for 5 more minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil, broccoli florets, onion, and mushrooms. Stir fry for 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  • Stir the sauce again to recombine, then pour it over the vegetables in the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens. If the sauce is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
