Teriyaki Chicken and broccoli

Here’s a simple recipe for Teriyaki Chicken with Broccoli:

Ingredients:

• 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and honey or brown sugar. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare the broccoli: Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are tender but still crisp. Set aside.
3. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
4. Thicken the sauce (optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add it to the skillet with the chicken and stir well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Add the broccoli: Add the steamed broccoli florets to the skillet with the chicken. Toss everything together until the broccoli is well coated with the teriyaki sauce.
6. Serve: Transfer the teriyaki chicken and broccoli to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
