CHICKEN & BROCCOLI STIR-FRY WITH HOISIN & GINGER SAUCE

Category: Chicken

1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp canola oil, divided
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups broccoli florets
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, hoisin sauce, soya sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil and the chicken strips. Season with freshly ground pepper. Stir the chicken as it cooks. When the chicken is barely cooked through (don't overcook!), about 2 to 3 minutes, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Add 1 additional tablespoon of canola oil to the skillet, then chopped ginger, minced garlic cloves, and broccoli florets. Cook until the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.

Add the chicken and the sauce to the pan and stir well until the sauce is heated through, about 30 seconds. Place the mixture on a serving plate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serves 4.
