Add 1/4 cup of water and the broccoli and onions and cook until the water has dissolved. Remove this from the skillet and place it into a bowl and sit aside.

Pour the tablespoon of oil and let it warm up. Add the chicken in a thin layer and cook the chicken until it is golden brown on one side then flip the chicken over and cook until almost cooked through.

In a small bowl add all the sauce ingredients and stir this together.

Note: You can double this recipe if you are feeding more than 2 – 3 people. Also, if you want the chicken and broccoli to have more sauce, just double the sauce ingredients.

I like to serve this chicken and broccoli with a side of jasmine rice and some soy sauce.
