Basil chicken and broccoli is a delightful blend of tender chicken, vibrant broccoli, and aromatic basil that creates a comforting and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional, but adds depth)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced (fresh is best!)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining it with soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the broccoli by washing and cutting it into bite-sized pieces, then steam for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Add the steamed broccoli and chopped basil to the skillet, stir gently to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Notes

  • Use organic or free-range chicken for better flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
