Chicken with Broccoli
Preparation:
  1. Prepare all ingredients as specified above.

  2. Sauté the chicken, which has been cut into bite-sized cubes, in a minimal amount of oil until it is browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan using a large fork and place it in a bowl. Add oil back to the same pan, then add the chopped mushrooms and broccoli. Mix well, cover the pot, and cook for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli and mushrooms are tender. Transfer them to a bowl.

  3. In the same pan, add a small amount of oil and finely chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant, approximately 20 seconds, over moderate heat.

  4. Add ginger powder, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and soy sauce. Mix well, then incorporate brown sugar and mix again. Immediately add the chicken broth and flour mixed with a small amount of water until smooth. Stir thoroughly and cook until a thick, creamy consistency is achieved.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste; I prefer to use only a small amount.

  6. Once the mixture is creamy, add the chicken, stir, and after one minute, add the broccoli and mushrooms. Stir and simmer for about 1-2 minutes.

  7. I frequently serve this chicken dish with Chinese white rice.

  8. I believe that you will love this recipe because it is a real pleasure to consume
