Chicken Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry

Recipe Description

Chicken Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry is one of my favorite midweek dinners. I make this when I get a craving for Chinese food. Have you ever ordered takeout and when you tasted it, realised that you could have made a much nicer dish yourself? Me too! And that’s when I decided to develop this stir fry recipe. The sauce tastes better than my local Chinese restaurant!

Start by coating the chicken in flour and stir frying it in a wok until it is evenly browned. Make a sauce by whisking flour, chicken stock or broth, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil in a bowl. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and cook the broccoli and mushrooms in the same wok. Add the sauce and bring it to a boil. Once it thickens, add the chicken and heat through. Serve with rice and enjoy!

To make my Chicken Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry, you will need the following ingredients:
