Why This Stir Fry Is a Standout Healthy Favorite

Balancing lean protein, an abundance of veggies, and a crave-worthy savory sauce, this chicken and broccoli stir fry satisfies both your palate and your health goals. It’s low in saturated fat, high in vitamins, and bursting with fresh flavor. Plus, it’s made with simple pantry staples, so you can have dinner on the table faster than ordering delivery.

Time-Saving Preparation Tips

Chop prep is the key to a quick stir fry. For perfectly uniform and quick-chopping, a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper streamlines dicing onions, garlic, and even slicing your broccoli stems. This ensures even cooking and makes the whole process faster, especially on those busiest nights.

Perfectly Cooked Chicken Every Time

For moist, evenly cooked chicken, slice your chicken breast thinly and against the grain. Use a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Board Set to separate your meats and veggies for safe, clean prep.

When you toss your chicken in a hot, high-quality nonstick skillet like a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, you get a perfect sear without extra oil or sticking. Stir-frying at high heat also locks in moisture and flavor.

How to Make the Best Stir Fry Sauce

A simple sauce of low-sodium soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a touch of honey or maple syrup delivers balanced umami with every bite. For ultra-smooth results and easy ginger and garlic mincing, pulse them using a compact Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender.

3. Heat your SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirl to coat.
4. Add chicken to the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Stir fry 3-4 minutes until just cooked. Remove chicken to a bowl.

6. Return chicken to the pan, pour in sauce, and toss to coat. Stir fry 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and everything is hot and glossy.
