This simple and healthy dish is much flavorful when chicken is marinated for at least an hour.

I prepped everything the night before, so all I needed to do before lunch is cook it. This classic Chinese dish is very versatile.

Don’t care for chicken, use shrimp or flank steak. Tweak the recipe to your liking. Add cayenne pepper to give it some kick or add green or red bell pepper.

After marinating, it takes less than 30 minutes to cook this popular Chinese takeout.

What is Oyster Sauce?

Oyster sauce is a brown sauce that is slightly sweet and salty, commonly used in Chinese cuisine. Available in Asians stores and in your local grocer at the ethnic aisle.

Once this is open, it should be stored in the fridge. I made a mistake one time, opened a new bottle of oyster sauce and forgot to put in the fridge. The next time I needed it, it had mold, so a full bottle went to waste.

Tips in Making a Tender Moist Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry with Oyster Sauce

(1) Use chicken thigh as it is more tender and moist than chicken breast.

(2) Marinate chicken for at least an hour. I marinated mine overnight and prepared everything I needed, so all I have to do the following day is cook it.

(3) Combine the other sauce in a bowl. You can use regular white sugar or brown sugar. This sauce is thicken with cornstarch so stir it constantly after pouring it.

(4) Remove broccoli florets from its stem. Don’t discard the stem, peel and chop into match stick size (julienned). I did not blanch the broccoli in boiling water since it will be cooked in boiling chicken broth.

(5) When cooking chicken, make sure your oil is hot and add it in batches. Don’t overcrowd your pan, so chicken can fry and brown instead of steam.

(6) Don’t overcook chicken, so it is tender, moist and juicy.

(7) Serve this over white rice or load up on broccoli if you are watching your carb intake.
