The inspiration for this Chinese Chicken & Broccoli recipe was watching a video from Gordon Ramsay on his LUXURY LONDON VIDEOS. If you have not checked out his website, he presents very approachable recipes. He also shares some great cooking tips and some very nice ideas for plating. He is his frenetic self. So I guess what we see on TV is truly him. Does he ever just relax?
Chinese Chicken & Broccoli
I have made a number of Asian recipes before but this one was the easiest and super tasty. I have made ASIAN SALMON NOODLES, ASIAN SALMON WITH RICE NOODLES and BLACK GARLIC ASIAN SALMON to name only a few.
What I liked about this recipe was that it was perfect for a weeknight meal. The prep was less than five minutes and the cooking was less than ten minutes. That makes this dinner a 15 minute meal. The prep involved cutting the chicken into small pieces or strips and the broccoli into florets. To cut the chicken quickly, first cut the chicken breasts lengthwise into strips. Then, the next cut is a perpendicular cut to the exact length you would like your pieces to be. Cutting the broccoli into florets is quite simple too. The only trick is to cut out the piece in the center that holds the broccoli head together. Once that fibrous piece is cut out, you can start cutting the stems and releasing the individual florets.
Not only is this a 15 minute meal but the dish is prepared in one pot – a wok. First, the broccoli is steamed in the wok. Place the broccoli in the wok with a little water. Next, grab a cover from one of your pots and steam the broccoli. Remove the broccoli and the oil and cook your chicken. Add the sauce and cook for a minute. Remove the chicken and now scramble your eggs. Combine all the ingredients and warm. That’s it.
