Making Chicken and Broccoli The Way You Like It!
Grab chicken breasts, boneless, skinless chicken thighs or even cubed up beef or pork!
That’s what makes this recipe so easy and versatile. You can really use whatever protein you have on hand (even tofu if that’s your thing) and mix up the vegetables to your liking or what you have in the fridge.
Here’s the basics on making stir fry in our house. First you need a wok or a large deep skillet. The reason for cooking stir fry in a wok is that the deep, sloped sides give you more surface area for the meat and veggies to sear instead of simmering in sauce.
Next you need to pick your vegetables. There are tons of vegetables that work great in stir fry recipes but these are some of our favorites!
- Broccoli
- Shredded Carrots
- Shredded Cabbage
- Asparagus
- Snow peas or pea pods
- Sliced peppers
- Mushrooms
Now it’s on to the protein. Chicken and broccoli is one of the most popular stir fry recipes it seems, so obviously chicken is a good choice. Some other options are:
- Sliced steak
- Ground beef
- Ground Pork or sliced pork
- Shrimp
- Scallops
- Tofu
What To Serve With Chicken and Broccoli
Rice is the obvious choice for most people. You can make brown rice or white rice, either will work in most stir fry recipes. Other options are ramen noodles or thin spaghetti (which are delicious tossed in the homemade stir fry sauce) or even cauliflower rice for a low carb recipe option.
