Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry

Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry recipe that is delicious, easy to whip up, and a healthy dinner. You could also add more veggies or cashews to this traditional Chinese dish. This is a perfect midweek dinner for busy families.

I love stir fries in general, but this chicken broccoli stir fry recipe tops my list as one of the best tasting stir fries ever.

I think it stems from the perfect sauce in this recipe.  Just the right amount of oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce come together to form a lip smacking good sauce.  After the sauce sinks into the chicken and broccoli in the wok…..oh my goodness, amazingly delicious.

I love healthy chicken and broccoli recipes.  There’s something about the combination that is just so delicious and homey at dinnertime.  Its also a combination that most people enjoy, so if you’re cooking for a crowd, its a good choice.

I had never made chicken broccoli stir fry with oyster sauce before.  Boy, does this sauce kick up the taste in this dish – so good.

Tips for this easy chicken and broccoli stir fry:

1. I recently purchased a wonderful wok that I recommend to everyone.  It makes cooking stir fries so quick and fun.  The clean up is super quick as well.
2. Sprinkling sesame seeds on top of the stir fry adds another texture and an added subtle nutty flavor.  I highly recommend.
3. You can add in almonds or cashews.  I would pour about a 1/2 cup in at the same time you are stir frying the broccoli.
4. Additional veggies like chopped red or green peppers, or onions are great additions.

Hope you enjoy this tasty chicken broccoli stir fry.  Such a great, quick prep dinner to enjoy anytime!
