Hey Cooped Cooking with Katie & Becca Fans!  Here are the recipes from yesterday’s livestream!!

Chicken with Broccoli

• 8 oz (boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh), cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 teaspoons oil
• ½ teaspoon + 1 tablespoon all-purpose cornstarch, divided
• ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon soy sauce
• Dash of white pepper
• 4 tablespoons chicken broth
• 1 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 8 oz (250 g) broccoli florets
• 1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions:

Toss the chicken with 1 teaspoon oil, ½ teaspoon all-purpose cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt, soy sauce and white pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Cook broccoli in boiling water until tender, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the snow peas to an ice bath until cool.  Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons chicken stock, oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon all-purpose cornstarch. Set aside.

Heat the remaining 3 teaspoons of oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and stir-fry for 1 minute.  Add the remaining 2 tablespoons chicken stock and cook until the stock comes to a boil.  Add the all-purpose cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 15 seconds and all the ingredients are nicely coated.  Dish out and serve immediately with hot steaming rice.
