Easy Chicken and Broccoli  Stir Fry

It’s time to skip the takeout and make your own chicken and broccoli stir fry at home!  By making this at home, you can control the sodium and the flavor, it is made to suit your own tastes! 

This easy recipe starts by making a marinade for the chicken.  The marinade is made with soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, garlic, and a little hot sauce (optional).  I like to use ziptop bags to marinade chicken because it makes for easy mixing and clean up.  I had my chicken sit in the marinade for at least 15 minutes.  In general, the longer the chicken sits in the marinade, the more flavor it will have.   However, I have prepared this recipe without having the chicken sit in a marinade for long and the recipe turned out fine!

 

Chicken and broccoli stir fry is the perfect meal when you want to serve family something delicious but need something quick!

To finish off this recipe, stir fry broccoli florets in a hot pan, and heat just until they begin to soften and turn brown, remove and set aside.  Add the chicken to the same skillet and cook until the chicken begins to turn caramel in color. 

This chicken and broccoli stir fry recipe is an easy weeknight meal that everyone will love!

Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry with Noodles

Stir fries are most often served with rice (white or fried), although you will occasionally see ramen noodles make an appearance.  I chose to serve this stir fry over linguini noodles.  Linguini noodles are great for holding sauce and they make for an especially filling dish. 

I coat my linguini noodles with flavorful peanut sauce.  The peanut sauce works well with the marinade chicken and the crisp broccoli.  The sauce adds a little creaminess and richness to the whole dish!

 

This chicken and broccoli stir will make you get rid of those take out menus!

    You sound exactly like my mom, but now that I know how to cook I feel validated in my complaints. My mom was on the other end of the spectrum though. Her menu was not as varied, she worked full time, and never had an interest in home cooking anyway. Needless to say, she’s not interested in foodie blogs!

      My mom wouldn’t look at food blogs either! My poor kids never eat the same thing twice, I’m a little too varied!

    You’ve created the United Nations of dishes, Tanya. It brought 4 differing palates together, peacefully. I bet you were just a bit satisfied with the way things worked out — and rightfully so! 🙂
