Ingredients
For Marinating The Chicken:
- 1 pound chicken thighs boneless and skinless , sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
For The Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¾ cup chicken broth
For The Stir Fry:
- 1 head broccoli cut into florets
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
Marinate The Chicken:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Prepare The Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Set aside.
Cook The Chicken:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Stir Fry The Broccoli:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir fry for about 5-6 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp. You can cover the wok if you want your broccoli more tender.
Combine And Cook:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
Serve:
- Drizzle with sesame oil and toss to combine.
- Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 10 minutes to enhance its flavor and tenderness.
- Use high heat for stir frying to achieve a nice sear on the chicken and keep the broccoli tender-crisp.
- If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture.
- Substitute Shaoxing wine with dry sherry or mirin if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
