Chicken and Broccoli with Brown Sauce
My way of making a brown sauce work with way less sodium, oil and calories than the typical chinese take out
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 20 minutes mins
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 6 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 6 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 lb chicken breast slice into thin pieces
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cups broccoli chopped
Combine chicken broth through sugar in a small pot and bring to a boil, gently stirring. Add 1 tbsp cornstarch and bring down heat to simmer stirring vigorously until the cornstarch dissolves. Set aside and keep warm. Coat the chicken breast with the rest of the cornstarch.
Heat a large non-stick skillet with canola oil. Add the coated chicken and let it cook for a few minutes then cook on the other side. The chicken should only take about 6 minutes total and left a little raw as you are putting this back in the pan to cook longer.
Add the broccoli and stir well. Add rice vinegar and then a drop of the chicken broth to simmer broccoli until it's still firm but cooked.
Add back the chicken and toss well. Add the full chicken broth mixture to the chicken and broccoli and toss well. Adjust seasonings here if needed (sometimes i add a little hot pepper)
