Chicken Broccoli Stir-Fry
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 pound boned, skinned chicken breast, cut into 1-in. cubes
- 5 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-in. strips (2 cups)
- 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 6 cups broccoli florets (each about 1 1/2 in.)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sambal oelek* or other chile sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted salted peanuts
- Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until extremely hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 tbsp. oil and swirl wok to coat. Add chicken. Cook undisturbed until browned, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tbsp. soy sauce. Cook until liquid begins to caramelize around chicken, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Add remaining 2 tbsp. oil to wok and swirl to coat. Add bell pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli, sambal oelek, and hoisin; toss to coat. Cook until broccoli is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together remaining 3 tbsp. soy sauce, the broth, and cornstarch; pour into wok and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened, 1 minute.
- Stir in chicken and any juices. Stir-fry until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender, about 1 minute.
- Serve over rice, sprinkled with peanuts.
- *Find sambal oelek, a Southeast Asian-style hot sauce, in the international aisle of well-stocked grocery stores.
