Healthy Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Prepare the broccoli by cutting the florets from the stem. Cut any large florets in half. They should be bite-sized pieces. Place a large bowl of ice water close to the pot of boiling water.

Add the florets to rapidly boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli from the boiling water and place into the ice water. Transfer to a colander to drain once cooled.

In a measuring cup, stir the sauce ingredients well. Set near the stove with a spoon.

Add peanut oil, garlic, and ginger to a pan over medium-high heat. When you can smell ginger and garlic, add onion and bell pepper. Stir them around for a bit then push everything to the side.

Add chicken to the center of the pan and spread in an even layer. Let the chicken sit for a minute or so to develop some color on the exterior then flip it over to develop color on the other side. Start to stir things around until the outside of the chicken no longer looks raw.

Increase the heat to high and add the stir fry sauce. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 3 minutes.
Add the broccoli and heat all the way through. Serve.
