HOW MANY CALORIES IN STEAMED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI RECIPES

Steps:

• Place water in the steamer pot (enough to boil for 30 or more minutes) and place over medium heat.
• wash and chop the broccoli, and/or cauliflower and place in the steamer basket.
• Slice chicken breasts into halves or thirds and place over the vegetables.
• Salt and pepper the basket contents to taste.
• When the water is boiling, add the basket and cover tightly with a lid.
• After 5 minutes or so of steaming, separate the chicken pieces gently with a fork and continue steaming.
• Steam until all is done (about 165 for the chicken and 190 to 200F for the broccoli). This is usually about 12 to 15 minutes if the chicken is divided.

Steps:

• Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl to dissolve sugar into the liquid. Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until cornstarch dissolves completely.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Fry chicken and onion in hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir broccoli with the chicken and onion; saute until the broccoli is hot, about 5 minutes. Push the chicken and vegetables mixture to the side of the skillet.
• Pour the soy sauce mixture into the vacant part of the skillet. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soy sauce mixture until the color is consistent. Move the chicken and vegetables back into the center to the pan; saute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 5 minutes more.
