Chicken & Broccoli

Source- Lauren's Kitchen

I love making homemade takeout.  Especially when it is something that I haven't gotten when we go out.  Trying something new is always nice. 



Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
  • 1/2 cup water, plus
  • 2 tablespoon water, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into thin 3-inch strips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 small onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • hot cooked rice
Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water and garlic powder until smooth. 
  • Add chicken and toss. 
  • In a large skillet or wok over medium high heat, stir-fry chicken in 1 tablespoon oil until chicken reaches desired doneness; remove and keep warm. 
  • Stir-fry broccoli and onion in remaining oil for 4-5 minutes. If necessary, deglaze with about 1/4 cup chicken broth.
  • Return chicken to pan. 
  • Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and remaining cornstarch and water until smooth; add to the pan. 
  • Cook and stir for 2 minutes. 
  • Serve over rice.
 Review & Changes- This recipe was really good.  I love making a sauce with my own ingredients instead of just buying a ready-made one from the store.  Nothing needs to be changed.
