Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

I eat stir fry at least one a week. I was looking back in the FFF archives and it appears that I haven’t posted a stir fry recipe since 2011. $@!*#!($????  I thought about it for a awhile and concluded that: it’s a challenge.

Taking photos of stir fry is a challenge. I just haven’t been able to nail the right composition. Well 2014 is all about challenges, stepping outside of my comfort zone, and doing it.

Have you ever had 365 Short Grain Brown Rice from Whole Foods? OH EM GEE. This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE. It is the most perfectly sticky brown rice and perfectly sticky brown rice makes me happy.

I used a few of my favorite flavors for my this Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry recipe.

  • Hoison Sauce
  • All-Natural Ketchup (low sugar if possible)
  • Soy Sauce (low sodium)
  • Sriracha
  • Honey
  • Garlic
  • Chili Pepper Flakes

If you are gluten free- all of these products can be purchased CERTIFIED gluten free. Because I am not strict gluten free, I use brands that are not certified g/f and I am okay with that! This doesn’t necessarily mean that they have wheat in the ingredient list, rather that they are produced at a plant where other products have wheat in them. I just wanted to bring this to your attention 

Check ou these gawgeous red chili pepper flakes. My grandma and grandpa made them and gave Blake and I a jar for Chirstmas! #bestpresentever 

For my veggies I kept things simple: yellow onion, pea pods, and broccoli. All (so) fresh (and so clean clean).


What dinner do you make every week?

What’s your favorite grain, lately?

Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion
  • 2 large heads of broccoli
  • 3 cups pea pods
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (or more)
  • 2 tablespoons hoison sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (add more if you like spicy or add less/omit if you like mild)
  • 1 cup short grain brown rice
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing brown rice. In a medium size pot, bring 1 cup of short grain brown rice and 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, turn to low heat and cover. Let simmer until water has dissolved. Fluff with a fork.
  2. While the rice is cooking, begin prepping and cooking stir fry. First, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or wok to medium/high heat. Next, prepare the stir fry sauce. In a small bowl, mix together garlic, hoison sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and red chili pepper flakes.
  3. Next, evenly slice chicken breast. I like to cut mine thin, so that it cooks faster. Prep veggies by dicing onions and cutting broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Place chicken breast onto pan and sautee, flipping chicken about every 30 seconds. Once the chicken is almost cooked all the way through, add the veggies. Sautee for about 30 seconds and then cover for 3-5 minutes. By covering the dish, the veggies with steam themselves and cook faster.
  5. Finally add in sauce and sautee for a few more minutes so that everything is evenly coated.
  6. Serve over a bed of short grain brown rice.
