Chinese Chicken and Broccoli

It’s easy to whip up this healthy Chinese food favorite with juicy pieces of stir-fry chicken breast and tender fresh broccoli florets, all cooked together in a savory Asian-inspired sauce.
We are big fans of all kinds of meals that include broccoli with chicken… From decadent chicken and broccoli slow cooker lasagna and hearty chicken and broccoli with quinoa, to Southwest detox chicken soup and skinny creamy chicken broccoli soup, I just can’t get enough of this savory combo!
This easy Chinese Chicken and Broccoli recipe is a healthy Asian chicken stir fry dish loaded with protein and plenty of veggie goodness! It’s fast and simple to make with fresh broccoli florets, lean chicken breasts, and a super flavorful garlic-ginger soy sauce.
Here I use a classic technique known as velveting the chicken – coating and resting the strips of chicken in baking soda – to make ultra-tender chicken. But even with this practically effortless step the entire recipe takes less than 40 minutes, from start to finish!
The flavor of homemade chicken broccoli stir fry recipe is better than Chinese takeout and is sure to be a big hit with the family. Serve it with rice (or low carb dishes) and your favorite Asian-style sides for a quick, delicious, and satisfying meal any night of the week.
