Easy Chicken And Broccoli Stir Fry
This Chicken and Broccoli recipe is one of my child’s favorite Chinese chicken stir-fry dishes. He loves the tender chicken, and he has always loved broccoli, and the savory and yummy brown sauce completes the dish.
A few years ago, I wrote a best-selling Chinese cookbook “Easy Chinese Recipes” and I talked about the techniques of making chicken tender that produces Chinese restaurant quality dishes.

Excellent. Make this recipe often. I have also switched out chicken for finely sliced beef (flank)or shaved pork (tenderloin). Equally as delicious. Only thing I do differently is 1) double the recipe 2) use half the sugar and 3) put finely sliced scallions over the top and serve over sushi rice. This recipe is easy, delicious, and healthy.! Love it❤️
