Recipe by @cremedelacrumb1

Better than takeout, and healthier too - this 30-minute Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry is bursting with rich, savory flavor and pleases even the pickiest eaters.

Ingredients:

• 2 large (or 3 small-medium) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 1/3 cup water or chicken broth
• Sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce or oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• ½ cup cold water + 1 tablespoon corn starch
• green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Cooking Directions:

1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients (except for water and corn starch) and set aside.
2. Drizzle a large skillet over medium heat with oil. Add chicken, season with Chinese five spice, and saute for 6-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Add broccoli florets to pan, saute 2-3 minutes until broccoli starts to become crisp on the edges. Add 1/3 cup water or chicken broth and cook for 4-6 minutes longer until broccoli is fork-tender.
4. Add chicken back to pan. Pour sauce into the pan and give it a good stir. Whisk together ½ cup cold water and corn starch until dissolved, then stir into the pan. Once sauce has thickened (about 1 minute) cook 2-3 minutes longer, then garnish with onions and sesame seeds and serve.
