Ingredients:

  • 150 grams chicken breast
  • 100 grams broccoli
  • 10 ml olive oil
  • 15 ml soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Let's start by preparing the chicken breast. Take your time to slice it into thin strips. Thinner strips cook faster and more evenly. Think about making them about the size of your pinky finger.

Next, grab a large pan and heat up your olive oil over medium-high heat. You'll know the pan is ready when the oil starts to shimmer slightly.

Now comes the fragrant part! Add your minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Let them cook for about 30 seconds until you can smell their wonderful aroma. Be careful not to burn them as they can become bitter.

Time for the main star - add those chicken strips to the pan. Keep stirring them around until they're fully cooked. You'll know they're done when they're no longer pink in the middle and have a nice golden color on the outside. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

Add your broccoli florets to the pan. Keep stirring them with the chicken for 3-5 minutes. You want them to be tender but still have a little crunch. If you like softer broccoli, you can cook them a bit longer.

Pour the soy sauce over everything in the pan and give it a good mix. The soy sauce adds a wonderful savory flavor and beautiful color to the dish.

Finally, sprinkle those sesame seeds on top before serving. They add a nice crunch and make the dish look even more appetizing. Your healthy and delicious stir-fry is now ready to enjoy!
