Ingredients

For the Stir Fry:

• 6 oz ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)

• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or peanut oil)

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced

• 8 oz broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

• 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds (optional)

For the Sauce:

• ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• ⅓ cup low sodium chicken stock (or water)

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 3 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch until no lumps remain. Add chicken stock, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chopped garlic, and whisk until evenly combined.

2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside.

3. Cook the Chicken: While the noodles cook, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

4. Cook the Broccoli: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the broccoli florets and sauté until bright green and tender, about 3–4 minutes.

5. Combine and Cook: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the broccoli. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

6. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
