Ingredients

• 0.5 cup white rice
• 0.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 ounce broccolini (trimmed and halved lengthwise)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoon chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

1. Cook the white rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, toss the chicken breast pieces with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch in a small bowl.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add the broccolini to the same skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, stirring to coat everything. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Serve the stir-fried chicken and broccolini immediately over the cooked rice.

Notes

Using pre-cooked or microwaveable rice can save extra time on busy evenings. You can substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas or bell peppers.
