If you haven’t caught on, I am a huge stir fry fan – I would eat it every single night if I could. I have really been missing stir fry so I went on the hunt for anything with broccoli (my favorite vegetable)! What I love the most about stir fry is that it’s daily easy to make and you can usually use up any veggies you have in the fridge that are on their last leg.
Ingredients: I actually found all of the ingredients for this one pretty easily. Since we had to get beef broth for a past meal, I knew exactly where to go for the chicken broth this time too! Thankfully it did not require a lot, but since we had our week of Trader Joes dinners (very minimal ingredients required) it felt like a lot of moving parts to make this dinner happen. I apologize, I completely forgot to take a picture go the ingredients before getting started!
Overall cooking was pretty easy. I made the broccoli and carrots in one pan and the chicken in another pan. I mixed together the sauce while they were both cooking – soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, water, and cornstarch. Once I added the chicken to the veggies I threw in the minced garlic for about a minute before adding the sauce. I will note that I added the cornstarch into the sauce mix because it felt like more effort to add it to the pan 30 seconds after the sauce mix as the recipe instructed.
Overall Rating: “Not bad, it tastes just like your stir fry”. I disagree, while it still tasted great, it was NOTHING like my stir fry sauce. I never added honest to my stir-fry and it definitely had strong undertones. While it tasted great, I still think I love my stir fry sauce more so I probably won’t be trying this again. Although, if you aren’t a stir fry snob unlike me, I highly recommend this dish. You will definitely experience lots of flavor!
Let me know if you try it as the original recipe or with your own modifications!
