Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli and Chicken With Hoisin image

The extra step to "velvet" the chicken is worth it for such tender, succulent chicken. I always look for sustainably raised chicken.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 3 main-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut across the grain in 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1 bunch Chinese broccoli (about 1 pound), ends trimmed
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced thin
Rice, whole grains or noodles for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch, add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
  • Bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan and add the Chinese broccoli. Boil 2 minutes, until it is just crisp-tender, and transfer it to a bowl of cold water. Do not drain the water from the pot. Drain the broccoli and dry on paper towels. Cut into 2-inch lengths
  • Combine the remaining rice wine, the hoisin sauce and the soy sauce in a small bowl and set near your wok
  • Bring the water in the pot back to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the remaining oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the mushrooms, chicken, broccoli, hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles

I found this recipe on dlife.com. I do not have diabetes but was searching for a specific recipe and I found it here! The resulting dish is one that is high in flavor and low in carbohydrates. To lower the carbs further, the cornstarch can be omitted. This will result in more of a broth as opposed to a sauce.

Chicken and Broccoli (Chinese Takeout Style) image

An easy chicken and broccoli stir fry recipe that yields juicy chicken and crisp broccoli in a rich brown sauce, just like the one at a Chinese restaurant. {Gluten-Free Adaptable}

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breast ((or thigh))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine ((or dry sherry))

1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 head broccoli (, chopped into bite-sized florets)
2 tablespoons peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
4 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 teaspoon ginger (, minced)

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken against the grain into thin bite-size pieces, no thicker than 1/4" (1/2 cm), transfer into a medium-size bowl. Add the marinade ingredients. Stir to mix well. Let sit for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Stir to mix well.
  • Bring 1/3 cup of water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cover.

Wipe the pan with a paper towel held in a pair of tongs if there's any water left.
  • Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Spread the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Allow to cook without touching for 30 seconds, or until the bottom side is browned. Flip to cook the other side for a few seconds. Stir and cook until the surface is lightly charred and the inside is still pink.
  • Add the garlic and ginger. Stir a few times to release the flavor and fragrance.
