Ingredients

  • •2 cups cooked brown rice
  • •1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast, cubed
  • •4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • •3 cloves garlic, minced
  • •1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • •3 tbsp soy sauce
  • •2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • •1 tbsp sesame oil
  • •1 tsp cornstarch
  • •1/4 cup chicken broth
  • •1 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. 1Cook brown rice according to package directions and set aside.
  2. 2Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, cornstarch, and chicken broth in a small bowl.
  3. 3Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat, add chicken and cook until golden, about 5-7 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  4. 4Add remaining oil to the pan, stir-fry broccoli for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp, then add garlic and red pepper flakes.
  5. 5Return chicken to the pan, pour sauce over everything, and toss for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. 6Serve the stir-fry over brown rice and enjoy immediately.

💡 Brown-rice stir-fry works best with fully cooked, cooled rice; warm rice clumps while chicken and broccoli overcook during extra stirring.
