Ingredients

Rice See blog notes
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 lb Chicken Breasts - cut into bite size pieces
2 TBSP Green onions - thinly sliced white end save the green end for garnish
¼ cup Soy Sauce
2 TBSP Hoisin Sauce
1 TBSP Rice Vinegar
1 TBSP Brown Sugar
¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 head Fresh Broccoli - chopped into bite size florets about 4 cups

Instructions

If you are making rice or quinoa, start that first.
In a large skillet, over medium high heat, add your olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers. Add your bite size pieces of chicken and thinly sliced green onions.
Let the chicken quickly brown, stirring a few times to allow the chicken to brown on all sides and cook. About 3-5 minutes.
As the chicken cooks, mix together the sauce - whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar and red pepper flakes and if you haven't already done so, cut up the broccoli.
Once browned, turn the heat down, pour in the sauce mixture and add in the broccoli. Toss everything to incorporate.
Add a lid and let is cook over medium heat until the broccoli steams to your preferred crunchiness (about 5-7 minutes) and the sauce thickens.
Serve over rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
