### Key Ingredients
* **Boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs** – thinly sliced for quick cooking
* **Fresh broccoli florets** – bright, crunchy, and nutrient-dense
* **Garlic and ginger** – for bold, aromatic flavor
* **Soy sauce and sesame oil** – the base of a classic stir-fry sauce
* **Brown sugar or honey** – for a touch of sweetness
* **Cornstarch** – to thicken the sauce and give it that glossy, restaurant-style finish
* **Cooked rice or noodles** – for serving
### How to Make Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry
1. **Prep Everything First:** Slice the chicken and broccoli, and whisk together the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and cornstarch mixed with a little water).
2. **Cook the Chicken:** In a hot pan or wok, stir-fry the chicken until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. **Sauté the Broccoli:** Stir-fry the broccoli until it’s tender-crisp. Add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam, if needed.
4. **Combine and Sauce:** Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything together until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and broccoli.
5. **Serve Immediately:** Spoon over warm rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
### Tips for Stir-Fry Success
* Slice the chicken thinly for quick, even cooking.
* Don’t overcook the broccoli—it should stay vibrant and slightly crisp.
* Use low-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching salt intake.
* Add extras like bell peppers, snow peas, or carrots for even more color and nutrition.
