Recently one of my favorite Chinese dishes has been Chicken and broccoli. I know I have not been posting a lot of Asian recipes lately but don’t worry, I still have more. Chinese chicken with broccoli is your basic stir fry. Chicken bits and broccoli florets stir-fried with a delicious sauce. The sauce is a basic combination of Asian flavors such as hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, and garlic. Red pepper flakes are added for a little heat and can be adjusted to your taste. If you choose the broccoli can be cooked ahead to save a little time. I like to toss my chicken bits with cornstarch to make them a little crispy but it’s totally optional. Normally this dish is not breaded. You could also deep fry the chicken bits and cook the sauce separately. Serve with white rice. Enjoy.
