Ingredients Notes
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Veggies: Onion, broccoli florets, and mushrooms. Feel free to add in other veggies like colorful bell peppers, snap peas, or bok choy.
- Chicken: You’ll need one pound of chicken, cut into one-inch pieces. Use either white meat from a boneless skinless chicken breast or dark meat from the chicken thighs, or a mix of both.
- Sauce: A magic potion of chicken broth, low-sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari), brown sugar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and ginger. Add red pepper flakes for heat!
How to Make Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry
- Sauté veggies: Heat a generous amount of avocado or olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium heat. Begin by sautéing onions. Next, toss in remaining veggies, stir-frying until the veggies are tender.
- Add chicken: Toss in the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and stir-fry until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Pour the mixture into the pan and let it simmer until it thickens, coating the chicken.
- Finish: Add the veggies back into the pan and cook for another minute. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped cashews and chopped green onions for that perfect finishing touch.
Serving and Storage
- Serving: If you are serving this with my rice recipe, get that going on the stove first! Add some tangy heat with a dash of sriracha sauce.
- Store: Store leftovers of chicken, broccoli and mushroom stir fry in an airtight container up to 3 days.
