Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss chicken with soy sauce and cornstarch until coated. Let marinate 10 minutes.

• Substitute chicken thighs for more flavor.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
