Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breast ((or thigh))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce ((or soy sauce))
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 head broccoli (, chopped into bite-sized florets)
2 tablespoons peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
4 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 teaspoon ginger (, minced)

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken against the grain into thin bite-size pieces, no thicker than 1/4" (1/2 cm), transfer into a medium-size bowl. Add the marinade ingredients. Stir to mix well. Let sit for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Stir to mix well.
  • Bring 1/3 cup of water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cover. Steam until the broccoli just turns tender and the water evaporates, about 40 to 50 seconds. Transfer the broccoli to a plate. Wipe the pan with a paper towel held in a pair of tongs if there's any water left.
  • Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Spread the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Allow to cook without touching for 30 seconds, or until the bottom side is browned. Flip to cook the other side for a few seconds. Stir and cook until the surface is lightly charred and the inside is still pink.
  • Add the garlic and ginger. Stir a few times to release the flavor and fragrance.
  • Return the broccoli to the pan. Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely and pour it into the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer everything to a plate immediately.
  • Serve hot with steamed rice or boiled noodles as a main dish.

BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN STIR-FRIED RICE



Broccoli and Chicken Stir-Fried Rice image

This is adapted from Cooking Light, July 2007. I really think it is one of my favorite stir-fry recipes out there, It is also very flexible...I'm sure you could sub in other veggies for some of the broccoli, like water chestnuts or carrots or mushrooms. Let your imagination run wild :). The original recipe calls for 2 T reduced-sodium soy sauce plus 1/4 t table salt stirred in at the end, but I think it is salty enough as written here.

EASY FRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN AND BROCCOLINI



Easy Fried Rice with Chicken and Broccolini image

This veggie-packed fried rice calls for freshly-cooked broccolini, snow peas, edamame, and chicken, but feel free to substitute any quick-cooking or leftover vegetables you like.

Provided by Rhoda Boone

Categories     Takeout at Home     22-Minute Meals     Rice     Chicken     Garlic     Egg     Pea     Soy Sauce     Orange Juice     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
4 scallions, sliced on the bias, divided
1 pound chicken cutlets, cut into 1/2" slices
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or pressed
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 bunch broccolini (about 6 ounces), ends trimmed, sliced in half lengthwise if stalks are thick
4 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old, long-or medium-grain)
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 cup snow peas
1/2 cup frozen edamame or green peas
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (from about 1/2 orange)
Chili or sesame oil (optional; for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet or wok over high. Reserve about 2 Tbsp. sliced scallion greens; add remaining scallions to oil and cook, tossing occasionally, about 1 minute. Add chicken, 1 tsp. salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger, then add broccolini and toss until incorporated. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and broccolini is tender, 2-3 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in skillet over high. Add rice and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, toss to coat, then press rice into a single layer, and cook, undisturbed, until crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Move rice to one-half of skillet and add eggs to other half. Cook, stirring gently to form curds, until soft set and just cooked through, about 1 minute, then fold into rice.
  • Fold in snow peas, edamame, soy sauce, and orange juice. Cook, tossing, until warmed through, about 1 minute. Add chicken mixture and toss to combine. Divide among plates, then top with reserved 2 Tbsp. scallions. Drizzle with chili or sesame oil, if using.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less moist and will fry better, resulting in a fluffier texture.
  • Cook the rice properly: Make sure the rice is cooked through but not mushy. If the rice is too soft, it will break down when you stir-fry it.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the fried rice will taste. Use fresh vegetables, lean protein, and flavorful sauces.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or pan: If you overcrowd the wok or pan, the rice will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Stir-fry the rice in batches: If you are making a large batch of fried rice, stir-fry it in batches to ensure that the rice is cooked evenly.
  • Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve the rice immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store the rice, let it cool completely before refrigerating it. Reheat the rice in a wok or pan over medium heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Chicken broccoli fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make the best chicken broccoli fried rice at home. Enjoy!
