Key Ingredients
Chicken Breast: The main ingredient for a source of lean, tender protein. I cube the chicken so that it cooks evenly and cooks more quickly.
Broccoli Florets: A crunchy nutrient-rich vegetable to give you some delicious green color, and a perfect complement to the garlicky sauce.
Yellow Bell Pepper: A lovely, sweet, slightly tangy flavor and a brightening presence of color.
Mushrooms: Earthy and meaty, mushrooms add depth of flavor and texture to the stir-fry.
Garlic: Minced garlic is the heart of the sauce, contributing a bold aromatic punch that makes this dish.
Soy Sauce — the base of the sauce, soy sauce adds salty, umami goodness that brings all of the ingredients together.
Sesame Oil: A touch of sesame oil adds its characteristic nutty aroma and deep flavor to the stir-fry.
Chicken Broth: The liquid part of the sauce that gives it body and savory depth.
Cornstarch: To thicken the sauce, making sure it sticks to the chicken and vegetables just right.
