Chicken Broccoli Toss Recipes

CHICKEN BROCCOLI STIR FRY (EXTRA SAUCE!)

Steps:

• Broccoli: steam or boil using preferred method until cooked to your taste (it won't cook any further in the stir fry). I usually microwave steam 3 minutes on high. Drain well.
• Sauce: Mix cornflour and soy sauce, then mix in remaining ingredients.
• Tenderising option: Consider tenderising chicken breast using this method. (Not needed for thigh)
• Cook: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and onion, stir for 10 seconds until garlic starts to go golden.
• Then add chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.
• Add broccoli, Sauce and water. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the Sauce thickens and becomes glossy, and coats the ingredients.
• Serve over rice!

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the scallion whites, sugar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, about half the garlic, half the ginger, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/3 cup water in a small bowl and reserve.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and heat. Add the broccoli stems and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the florets and the remaining garlic and ginger, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Stir-fry until the broccoli is bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Get the skillet good and hot again, and then heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the chicken and red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry until the chicken loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce, return the broccoli to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil to thicken. Add more water if need to thin the sauce, if necessary. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if you like.
• Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates and garnish with sesame seeds; serve with rice.

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Boil pasta in 6 quarts of water for 8 to 10 minutes. (The pasta will be slightly undercooked). Drain, and set aside. Do NOT rinse.
• Heat the oil on medium high in a pot large enough to hold the 1 pound of cooked pasta, then add the chicken pieces. Cook for 2 minutes, turning the chicken to brown evenly on all sides.
• Add the diced onion, and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic, basil and oregano and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and sugar, then pour in the red wine. Bring to a simmer, and reduce the liquid by half.
• Toss in the diced tomatoes, and return to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add the chopped broccoli, and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
• Mix in the pasta, and cook until the pasta reaches your preferred doness. Finish by mixing in the parmeasan cheese and taste for salt.
