Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment before starting to cook.

Heat a generous amount of oil in a large, non-stick skillet over an elevated heat setting until it reaches a shimmering state, approximately 2 minutes. Concurrently, combine chicken and one tablespoon of cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl and mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

Carefully add the chicken to the skillet in a single, uniform layer and cook, stirring frequently, until it reaches a crispy texture and is fully cooked through, around 6 minutes. Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until they become translucent, roughly 1 minute. Introduce minced ginger and garlic into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Transfer the chicken mixture to a plate and set it aside.

Add broccoli florets to the empty skillet, and cook over an elevated heat setting, stirring occasionally, until they turn a vibrant green color and are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Simultaneously, whisk together water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, approximately 30 seconds.

Add the cooked chicken mixture to the broccoli in the skillet; add the soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until both the broccoli and chicken are well-coated with the sauce and it thickens, around 2 minutes.

Serve the dish immediately and indulge in its delicious flavors!
