I'm thinking that February is the new January. Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure what happened to January. I managed to get Christmas decorations put away. I fed my family. I washed dishes and did the laundry. All the other things that I hoped to accomplish? They're now on the February list.
I have a bunch of recipes I want to share with you, so we'll start with this one. I've made this chicken broccoli mushroom stir fry twice in the past two weeks. It's easy to make, and really tasty. I originally saw it on Facebook - one of those videos that show you how to make a meal in 30 seconds. Except it didn't really take 30 seconds. More like 30 minutes, which is still pretty quick.
Cut up some chicken, dredge it in flour, and fry it up.
Mix up the sauce and stir fry the veggies.
Mix it all together... and done.
Serve over rice or noodles. Prepare for everyone to tell you how good it is.
Chicken Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry
Ingredients
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into ¾" pieces2 tbsp cooking oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
½ tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated, or ½ tsp ginger powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp sesame oil
1¼ lb (6 cups) broccoli florets
1 small onion, sliced
¾ lb (12 oz) sliced mushrooms
Sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
Toss chicken breast pieces in flour, salt, and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a large pan. Add chicken to pan and brown on all sides.
While chicken is cooking, combine sauce ingredients - broth, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil - in the same bowl that the leftover flour from the chicken is in. Whisk it all together. Set aside.
Remove cooked chicken from pan and set aside. Add another tbsp of cooking oil to the pan and once it's hot, add the onion, broccoli and mushrooms. Stir fry until the broccoli is crisp tender and the
mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.
Pour the sauce into the hot vegetables. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Simmer 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened then toss in chicken and cook another 30 seconds or until heated through.
Serve over rice or noodles, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
