Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon + 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups small broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (or more broccoli if you don’t like mushrooms)
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add broccoli and mushrooms and cook for about 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

  3. Remove the vegetables from the pan and place them on a plate and cover.
  4. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.

  6. Add the vegetables back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes to warm everything.
  7. In a bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, chicken broth, and soy sauce.
