1-Getting started: with this chicken broccoli mushroom stir fry is straightforward, and following these steps will help you create a meal that’s full of flavor and texture. First, whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl, warming the broth if needed to dissolve the sugar and cornstarch, then set it aside for later.

2-Next, lightly season the chicken pieces with black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add the chicken in a single layer, and sear it undisturbed for 1 minute before stir-frying for 5 minutes until it’s golden and just cooked through. Remove the chicken and cover it loosely to keep it warm.

3-Then, in the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the broccoli, onion, and mushrooms for about 3 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the broccoli is crisp-tender. Lower the heat to medium-low at this point to avoid overcooking.

4-After that, stir the sauce again and pour it over the vegetables, simmering for 3-4 minutes until it thickens and the flavors blend well. Adjust the sauce consistency with a bit of water if it seems too thick. Finally, return the chicken to the skillet, stir for 30 seconds to heat it through, adjust the seasoning, and serve it over hot rice. You can garnish with sesame seeds for a nice touch.
