Ingredients
- about 680 g Chicken breast
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Cooked rice
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g of chicken breast into about 2.5 cm bite-sized pieces.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of sunflower seed butter, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger until smooth. Then, whisk in the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until no lumps remain, creating your sauce.
- 3Heat a large skillet or wok (at least about 30 cm in diameter) over medium-high heat until the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil shimmers, indicating it is hot enough (approximately 191°C). Add the cut about 680 g of chicken breast to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 4Add the 4 cups of broccoli florets to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green.
- 5Pour the prepared sunflower seed butter sauce over the chicken and broccoli in the skillet. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats all the chicken and broccoli.
- 6Serve the Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry immediately over the 4 cups of cooked rice.
