Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
The easiest stir-fry you will ever make! With the juiciest, tender chicken bites and sneaked in veggies!
Hello easiest-dinner-ever. It’s such a quick, speedy stir-fry using of course, chicken thighs (my favorite!), yielding the juiciest, most tender chicken bites ever. But don’t worry, you can swap them out for chicken breasts if dark meat is not your thing.
I also added some broccoli for those sneaky greens, soaking up all that saucy goodness. But you can use any veggies you have on hand – carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, snap peas, baby corn, you name it! They are all good here.

Really good!!! I used chicken breast. I didn’t have rice wine vinegar but checked online for a substitute and used apple cider vinegar. It came together very quickly. Will
Make this over and over!
Can I meal prep this recipe? How do I store it in fridge or freezer and reheat?
Easy and delicious and my daughter loves it!
This is one of my go-to weekly recipes for my family ever since I discovered this recipe! The sauce is heavenly! The oyster sauce has a lot of sodium so I omitted the salt on the chicken but even then I love it all. Thank you for sharing this delicious gem!
This was okay. I don’t know if it was user error, but this was too salty for us. If I do this one again, I would add more veggies and less salt.
Really delicious and easy to pull together! This recipe is definitely a keeper!
A perfect taste to my pallet. Healthy. Inexpensive.
I have been trying different sauces and never can find just the right one…..until now.
I have to say, best sauce I have ever tasted.
Thank you so much!!
I had a bag of mixed fresh veggies and some peppers, so I doctored this up a tad. I also added a few cashews…just because.
The sauce is wonderful. I had been in a rut with soy sauce, and the oyster sauce gave much deeper flavor. Even with low salt soy, I get cotton mouth–which didn’t happen with this recipe.
I also like the trick of putting the cornstarch directly on the chicken. It gave a lovely texture and the meat didn’t get lost in a gloppy gravy.
I adore this website and always come away with ideas and inspiration. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I love all of your recipes!!!
One quick question. When I see sesame oil in a recipe , should I always assume untoasted? Is toasted sesame seed oil on when specified? Thanks. This has plagued me for awhile.
This is the most amazing recipe! The flavors are perfectly balanced, it is super easy, and most importantly, every member of my family loves it! I add flat pea pods to it along with the broccoli. So delicious – thank you for this recipe!
I needed a new recipe and you saved the day! This recipe is wonderful. I added red bell pepper and onion and used cauliflower rice to up our veggies. Thank you!
I am going to try this recipe for dinner!
Absolutely delicious for the ease of preparation. I think this will be my go to sauce for stir fries for years to come. Huge fan.
Easy. Delicious. Quick! Doubled the recipe.
5 ⭐️
Wow! delicious
It’s a keeper, made the sauce in double, next time I’ll add
Very good and loved how light it was. Added carrots for color. My chicken did not look as brown as shown in the picture, though I did use chicken breasts instead of thighs. Either way, a keeper for sure.
I did exactly as the recipe required but tweaked to taste, added more veggies over rice…..Damn good!!! received kudos from the wife!! Definitely will make repeatedly due to the ease of making it. Thanks guys!!
This recipe is so freaking good. I don’t know why I’m amazed every time I try a recipe from this site, because they are all great. Prep everything 1st, definitely use fresh garlic and ginger. We had cauliflower rice with our meal. This will be a weekly meal. Thanks for a great recipe.
Yep, this is amazing! I made it with quinoa and it turned out so well. To those who have had problems with the chicken sticking, I’d recommend making sure the oil is quite hot before you put in the chicken, and then don’t touch the chicken until it gets brown on the bottom.
