- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and stir-fry the broccoli florets for 3 minutes.

- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sugar, chicken broth, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.

Notes
For the best texture, ensure the broccoli is not overcooked; it should remain bright green and slightly crisp. You can add a splash of water to the skillet while stir-frying the broccoli if it begins to stick. To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a bit of soy sauce and cornstarch for 15 minutes before cooking.
