    Chicken Stir Fry with Broccoli

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    One of my friends on my Facebook page last week mentioned that she had made chicken stir fry with broccoli, but she didn't like it because it was too salty. So, I told her I would make it this week and do a post on it. I can't guarantee this is that much less salty though, but I tried!

    Chicken Stir Fry with Broccoli - This delicious Asian dinner recipe is quick and easy to make. It uses chicken breast, fresh broccoli, and low sodium soy sauce to make it a healthy meal.

    I think one of the issues is what soy sauce you use. They are not all the same! I know they make a low sodium version, but I've never been a fan of low sodium products and prefer to cut salt in other ways ( tasting food before salting it, not adding much when cooking, etc). I generally use Kikkoman soy sauce.

    I hope you'll try this chicken stir fry recipe and let me know what you think of it!

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound chicken breast sliced very thin
    • 3 cups cut broccoli
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1 cup chicken stock or broth
    • 5-6 tablespoons Kikkoman Stir Fry Sauce
    • 1 tablespoon Kikkoman Soy Sauce
    • 1 tablespoon green onions
    • 1 teaspoon green onions sliced thin
    • 1 tablespoon canola or sesame oil
    • Rice prepare according to package directions

    Instructions

    • Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, like this.
    • Chop the broccoli into medium to small florets.
    • In a wok or large frying pan, saute the broccoli and garlic in the chicken stock over high heat until broccoli is just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
    • Remove broccoli, garlic and stock to a large bowl and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add oil ( I would have preferred sesame oil, but I was out so I used canola). Add chicken and cook, stirring often, until chicken is no longer pink.
    • Add broccoli mixture back into the pan and add stir fry sauce, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and green onions. Allow to come to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce reduces slightly and is absorbed slightly by the chicken.
    • Serve over cooked rice ( I used brown).

    It was still somewhat salty but I've never really had a Chinese chicken stir fry that wasn't. If you would really prefer less salt, use low sodium stir fry sauce and soy sauce.
