Asian Chicken & Broccoli

Asian Chicken & Broccoli

Prepare the sauce first in a small pot over low heat to dissolve the sugar and get the corn starch to thicken.  Heat the olive oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat and allow chicken to sear for at least a full minute. Flip, stir fry, remove and keep warm.  Add in vegetables for a few minutes, add back in chicken, and pour sauce over the mixture, continuing to cook for at least another 5 minutes.  Serve over hot rice.
