Ginger Chicken And Broccoli Recipes

GINGER CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• To make sauce: Blend all sauce ingredients together in a mini processor (this incorporates the peanut butter better into the sauce).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet or wok until just smoking. Add chicken strips and stir-fry, moving chicken strips often, until cooked, about 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• In same skillet, add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and, when hot, add onion and carrot juilienne and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, broccoli slaw mix and broccoli florets and continue to stir-fry a further 2-3 minutes. Finally, add drained pineapple chunks, cooked chicken strips and sauce to skillet and stir-fry a further 2 minutes, or until sauce has thickened and has coated the mixture. Total stir-fry time for vegetables should be 10-12 minutes, depending on how crisp-tender you like your veg. (I like to cover my pan the last couple of minutes and allow the veg to steam a bit as we like our veg on the softer side).
• Serve with steamed rice.
• Note: The chicken will be easier to cut into thin strips if you use partially frozen chicken breasts. Allow to thaw completely before proceeding before proceeding with recipe.

P.F. CHANG'S GINGER CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• At least 3 hours ahead of serving time: Marinate the chicken: Combine the eggs, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil in a bowl. Add the chicken slices; mix well to coat. Cover the dish and refrigerate the chicken for at least 3 hours. When ready to use, drain the chicken well (I used a sieve-dump the chicken in it over a bowl to drain...don't rinse...just drain as much of the slimy egg mixture as you can off of the chicken). Combine the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce, cover and set aside until ready to use. Sauce can be made ahead. Place the 3 cups of chicken broth in a large skillet (or wok); bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer. Add the well-drained pieces of marinated chicken to the broth; cook until chicken is almost done (about ¾ of the way done - just a couple minutes). Before the chicken is cooked all the way through, remove the pieces from the pan using a slotted spoon, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Keep the chicken warm. After removing the chicken, but while the broth is still simmering, add the broccoli florets. Cook these until crisp-tender (just a few minutes!). Once done, remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and arrange it on a serving platter in a ring. Keep the broccoli warm. Once you have removed the broccoli from the pan, discard the broth. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and put it back on the stove top. Heat the skillet again and add 3 TBSP vegetable oil. Once oil is hot, add the ginger, green onion, and garlic... saute for just a few seconds. Add in the stir-fry sauce and simmer for a few minutes. Add the chicken slices back into the sauce; cook all the way through, approximately 3-4 minutes. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup cornstarch with ½ cup water until smooth. Add this mixture to the chicken and sauce in the skillet. Stir in the sesame oil. Simmer for a minute or two while the sauce thickens. Arrange the broccoli into a ring shape around the perimeter of serving platter. Once the sauce has thickened and is hot, pour the stir-fry into the center of the broccoli ring. Serve with steamed rice. Enjoy! Notes Please take note that the long prep time is inactive prep time. The length of prep time includes 3 hours of marinade time for the chicken.

BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl to dissolve sugar into the liquid. Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until cornstarch dissolves completely.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Fry chicken and onion in hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir broccoli with the chicken and onion; saute until the broccoli is hot, about 5 minutes. Push the chicken and vegetables mixture to the side of the skillet.
• Pour the soy sauce mixture into the vacant part of the skillet. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soy sauce mixture until the color is consistent. Move the chicken and vegetables back into the center to the pan; saute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 5 minutes more.
