Ingredients
  • 1 large broccoli crown, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
Marinade:
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
Sauce:
  • 5 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the marinade. Stir so that all ingredients are mixed together. Add the chicken and stir so that the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the broccoli and cook until broccoli is bright green, about 2 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain broccoli.
  3. In another small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce and stir until well combined.
  4. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add chicken, including the marinade to the skillet. Add half of the sauce to the skillet as well. Sauté until the chicken is almost cooked.
  5. Add the broccoli and remaining sauce. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli tender, but still crisp.
  6. Serve immediately.
