Ingredients

• Boneless chicken breast - 300 grams, sliced
• Broccoli florets - 200 grams
• Soy sauce (Kosher) - 2 tablespoons
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
2. In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
