Chicken Broccoli Mushroom Stir Fry:
Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry satisfies the craving for takeout and you’ll feel good about serving this to your family because it’s healthier than going out. If you loved our Beef and Broccoli, then you will love this chicken stir fry. It’s loaded with tender chicken, mushrooms and fresh broccoli. I hope you’re inspired to make this easy and tasty dinner!
Ingredients & Substitutions for Stir Fry:
- Chicken – we used boneless skinless chicken breast, but chicken tenders or even thighs would be delicious here.
- Stir Fry Veggies – We love the combination of broccoli, onions, and mushrooms for an authentic Chicken Broccoli Stir fry. You could sub the broccoli with snap peas or zucchini and sub onions with julienned carrots.
- Chicken Broth – this adds more flavor, but water can easily be substituted.
- Low Sodium Soy Sauce – Since different brands have different amounts of salt, add soy sauce to taste. You can always add more at the end, but you can’t take salt out of a dish. For gluten-free, use Tamari sauce.
- Sesame Oil – this one ingredient gives the sauce authentic Chinese stir fry flavor. Do not skip it.
- Ginger & Garlic – fresh is best for stir fry, but in a pinch, you can substitute 1 tsp fresh garlic for 1/2 tsp garlic powder and substitute 1 tsp fresh ginger for 1/8-1/4 tsp ground ginger.
- Brown Sugar – we used 2 Tablespoons of packed light brown sugar. You can substitute with 1 1/2 Tbsp to 2 Tbsp of liquid sweetener like honey, or add it to taste.
- Corn Starch – using cornstarch as a thickener helps keep this gluten-free.
Pro Tip: It’s easiest to peel fresh ginger using the edge of a teaspoon. Simply scrape the skin away. Try it – it’s so easy.

How to Make Broccoli and Chicken Stir Fry:
- Make the Sauce: Combine all of the sauce ingredients and stir to dissolve the sugar. The warm broth will help the sugar to dissolve easily.
- Cook Chicken: Cut chicken into small 3/4″ bite-sized pieces and season lightly with black pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat with 1 Tbsp oil. Add chicken and cook 1 minute undisturbed then stir fry 5 minutes until golden and just cooked through. Remove chicken to a bowl.
- Sautee Veggies: In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 Tbsp oil, broccoli florets, sliced onion and mushrooms and stir fry 3 minutes until mushrooms are softened then reduce heat.
- Add Stir Fry Sauce: Give the sauce a quick stir in case there was settling and add it to the skillet. Simmer the sauce over medium/low heat for 3-4 minutes until thickened and garlic and ginger have mellowed in flavor. To thin the sauce, add water as needed and you can add more soy sauce to taste.
- Return Chicken to the Pan and stir until heated through then serve over white rice garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
The KEY to Cooking Stir Fry:
A stir fry is essentially flash cooked on a very hot skillet (less than 15 minutes of cooking time). Since this recipe moves fast, you want to have every ingredient chopped, measured, prepped and ready to use before you fire up the skillet. If serving with white rice, you’ll want to put the rice on the stove first then cook your stir fry. You’ll want to bookmark our tutorial for Perfect White Rice.

Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe
The sauce in this stir fry is perfectly "saucy," making it ideal for serving over hot and fluffy white rice. This recipe moves fast so start cooking your rice first and be sure to prep and chop all of your stir fry ingredients and make the sauce before cooking the stir fry.
Ingredients
Chicken and Broccoli:
- 1 lb chicken breast (boneless skinless), cut into 3/4" pieces
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil (I used extra light olive oil), divided
- 1 lb broccoli cut into florets (about 5 cups)
- 1 small yellow onion sliced into strips
- 1/2 lb white button mushrooms thickly sliced
Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce (use Tamari for gluten free), or added to taste
- 2 Tbsp light brown sugar packed (or honey to taste)
- 1 Tbsp corn starch
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated (lightly packed)
- 1 tsp garlic (2 small cloves) grated
- 1/4 tsp black pepper plus more to season chicken
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk to dissolve sugar and corn starch (warm broth will help dissolve the sugar faster). Set sauce aside.
-
Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces (no more than 3/4” thick) and season lightly with pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil. Add chicken in a single layer and let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute to get a good sear then stir fry for another 5 minutes or until golden brown just cooked through then remove to a bowl and loosely cover to keep warm.
-
In the same skillet, add another 1 Tbsp oil along with broccoli florets, sliced onion and sliced mushrooms. Stir fry 3 minutes or until mushrooms are softened and broccoli is crisp-tender then reduce heat to medium/low.
-
Give the sauce a quick stir in case there was any settling of starch and pour all of it over the vegetables. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until sauce is thickened and garlic and ginger are mellowed in flavor. To thin the sauce, add water a tablespoon at a time.
-
Return chicken to the pan and stir another 30 seconds or until heated through. Add more soy sauce to taste if needed and serve over hot rice.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Love love love this recipe! Love everything I’ve made from your recipes. I love the chicken Fried Rice- pesto stuffed chicken – lemon chicken and so many more. I am 53 and I finally feel like I can cook great tasting meals. Just wanted to say thank you! You truly have a gift and make cooking fun. My whole family thanks you lol
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Kathy!
Hi is there any way of getting the original recipe for the sauce? I prefer the old sauce and would be so grateful if you could tell me the measurements for the ingredients in the original sauce recipe. Thank you so much!
Hi Ess, the best way to look at old versions of a recipe is to go to this site and paste the url of the recipe in the search bar. I hope that helps!
Made this for dinner about a week ago,soooooo good
I enjoy all your recipes
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I wanted to double the recipe thinking it would be good to meet prep, but 3 lbs of chicken made about 7 servings. The recipe was amazing, though! Definitely will keep this in mind for the future, but I will need to probably use 5 lbs instead with 3 cups of rice, 3 heads of broccoli and 2 things of mushrooms.
I’m so glad you loved it, Ned. Thank you for trying out this recipe!
I love your recipes, but it’s becoming increasingly frustrating trying to read your page because of all of the ads. There are just way to many popping up covering your content. Even as I’ve typed this comment, more than a dozen have popped up, literally, more than a dozen.
Hi Sallie, thank you for sharing your concerns and feedback. The only way we can continue providing free recipes is by having ads on our site so we are not able to remove those at this time. We find that most people would rather see the ads than pay to see the recipes. I appreciate your feedback and I hope you love every recipe you try.
I’m planning to try this recipe tonight, so I cannot yet rate it. However, I would like to let you know that I totally agree with Sallie’s comment about the ads on your website. Both the ads and your videos make it take the webpage a long time to load. I have found that I just cannot do it on my iPad and have to use my laptop for a little better experience. But I am one of those that would rather pay for recipes than have the ads.
Thanks for your feedback, Jeannie. We always check our website and videos and they load just fine on our end. There may be ads but you should be able to close them after a few seconds. The only way we can continue providing free recipes is by having ads on our site so we are not able to remove those at this time.
Hi Natasha!
Made it tonight and was a great success.
Also the rice recipe that you linked.
Thanks so much.
*Had to change things around cause last minute realized I don’t have mushrooms!
Used broccoli and cauliflower and was just great!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hi, can I prep the sauce a day ahead of time and refrigerate?
Hi Nicole, I imagine that should work fine too.
I’m assuming i can make this with boneless skinless chicken thighs as well? that’s what i have on hand.
Hello Carole, yes that would work too. I hope you love this recipe!
I made your chicken and broccoli minus the mushrooms. YUM!!!
I will print it and make it again. It is better than the Chinese restaurant near me. I am looking forward to trying other recipes from your blog!
So awesome! I’m so glad you loved this recipe, Ann. It is also one of our favorites.
Whoa, this recipe is spot on. I followed it pretty closely except I used canned mushrooms. It didn’t make a difference though, everything turned out great!
Hello Effy, thank you for sharing that with us and for giving this recipe a perfect rating. I’m so glad you loved it!
I’m not the best chef, but I followed this recipe as closely as I could (substituting mushrooms for more broccoli and chicken broth for water) and it was absolutely spectacular! I’d love to try it with beef instead if chicken. Does anyone have any ideas for what kind/how much beef to use to keep the recipe the same otherwise? Thanks!
Sounds awesome! I imagine that will work too but you can also use my Beef and Broccoli recipe.
Hi Matthew, I haven’t tried a beef substitute for this recipe but it does sound good. Let me know how it goes if you test it but also check out our recipe for Beef and Broccoli HERE.
Such a simple and delicious recipe! The stir fry sauce is one of the best I’ve made/tasted. Thank you for a keeper recipe
Hi Jackie! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Sounds like you found a new favorite!
Just made this for my boyfriend. He’s Asian, KNOWS chicken and rice and is actually kind of a picky eater. He’s also not afraid to hurt my feelings ( I’ve tried my hand at some Indian dishes that he had some critiques on for sure). He was slurping this down! Complimented me several times and cleaned every bit of rice off his plate! I was gleaming the whole time watching him enjoy this one! Definitely make!
Wow! That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
We made this tonight and it was great. We did not add mushrooms, as we do not care for them. Still was very good. Prepping is key.
So great to hear that you enjoyed this recipe even without mushrooms. Thank you for sharing that with us, Tim!
It was super amazing and super easy. Just to make it healthy I replaced the rice with quinoa and it was still amazing.
Thanks Natasha for this delicious recepie.
Cheers!
OMG this is soooooooo delish! So happy to have a new go-to!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing that with me!
Can frozen broccoli florets with this recipe?
Hi Anna, one of my readers reported the following for using frozen broccoli: ” I use frozen all the time I steam in the microwave first to drain any excess water and it cuts down the time it takes to cook. I just throw them in after the mushrooms cook down.” I hope that helps!
Hi, can I use ginger powder in place of fresh ginger? How much would I use?
Hi Ellie, Fresh usually tastes better but it would work if you added the powdered version.
Made this tonight, so delicous!
Glad you loved it!
Amazing recipe!! The sauce is really great, will definitely make again!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe Sandra!
We made the chicken and broccoli stir fry and immediately fell in love. We have made it multiple times and we definitely recommend!
That’s so great! I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
Made this on Friday for a family supper – went down a treat everyone loved it, real quick and easy to make definitely a keeper in our house 😋
That’s so great Hels!
Can I have the other recipe, before it was updated? My family loved that one. This one tastes different for sure.
Hi Erica. The best way to look at old versions of a recipe is to go to this site and paste the url of the recipe in the search bar. I hope that helps!
Hi Natasha, my daughter introduced you to me. I love chicken and broccoli and plan to make it tonight. However, I don’t like mushrooms and am wondering if there’s something I can substitute. Or, I’ll just leave them out.
Thanks.
Hi VERNELL, we love this recipe with mushrooms but you are welcome to omit them or replace them. Here is what one of our readers wrote “I subbed carrots for the mushrooms and it was delicious! TY for the recipe, it’s filed under family fav now!”
Hi! I have sesame seed oil at home, is that the same thing as sesame oil?
Hi Mariya, yes that is the same thing.
Hello, Natashas Kitchen
I love this recipe it’s quick and easy and it tastes great. It’s a big hit in my family so I see a repeat performance in its future.
Thanks
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I made this last night! Delish!!!👍🏻
I did the “velveting method” with the chicken. Works! Natasha, Since you’re so great at cooking videos, suggesting you do one using this method!
Since I had water chestnuts leftover from Asian meatloaf, added them! You’re a great inspiration to my cooking and I’m no spring chicken. Lol.
Hello Debi, thank you for your great comments and suggestion. I’ll keep that in mind if I do this recipe again next time. Thanks again, we appreciate your awesome feedback!
Made the beef and broccoli and was wondering if it can be done with chicken as had that in the fridge. and low and behold there it is. Will make tomorrow.
Perfect! Enjoy and hope you love it.
So simple, quick and delicious! Would make it again. Thanks, Natasha!
You’re welcome, Kay! I’m glad you enjoyed that!
Perfect! Fast, easy, delicious!
A big hit, everyone loved it, wouldn’t change a thing!
Thanks for your great comments, Cindy. We appreciate it!
I added Red bell peppers and small can of water chestnuts. Served on brown rice, it was amazing.
Sounds good, James. Those were great additions, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Chicken broccoli mushroom stir fry. The absolute best EVER. I’ll never use bottled stir fry sauce again. I did cut the brown sugar by one tablespoon…..but it was perfect. I love all the recipes I’ve tried. This is a favorite as well as the Chicken Avacado salad…..out of this world. Thank you, you’re delightful!!
Sounds like you found a new favorite, Janet! That’s just awesome!
Y’all when I tell you this recipe is delicious, believe me. My family ate the whole pot. As long as you keep making delicious recipes you have a fan.
Aaw that is the sweetest! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, we appreciate it!

It was delicious! Loved it just the way you made it!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Tamara!
First time trying Chicken and Broccoli because I usually make Broccoli Beef. I loved the recipe and the sauce (minor modification in using Truvia Brown Sugar Blend).
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Rosie! Thank you for that great review!
Delicious! I probably cooked the veggies a little too long. The sauce is wonderful. Even on soggy vegetables.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
This was really delicious! next time I will add salt and pepper to the chicken before cooking it, it definitely needs it! It will be too bland otherwise, I adjusted the seasonings before serving it and it was fine but it would of been way better to have added the salt and pepper to the chicken from the get go.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us Carmen! I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe!
This was so delicious. I didn’t have sesame oil and it was still fantastic. Thanks Natasha.
You are most welcome, Kathy. Thanks for giving this recipe a try!
The recipe for the chicken broccoli stir fry was delicious! My family of picky eaters loved it. Thanks! Can’t wait to try a few of your other recipes. Shirley
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great! Thank you for that wonderful review Shirley!
Natasha,
I made the chicken broccoli stir fry. Delish! I have a lot left over and want to eat it tonight. How do I reheat? No microwave is no good for chicken. Cover and put in oven or re sauté in pan ? I pulled it from fridge 2 hours ago to get to room temp. BTW I have made at least 10 of your recipes and turned you on to my adult kids and they are hooked on your recipes too!
Love it! I’m so glad you all enjoyed the recipe. Yes, you surely can reheat this in an oven or in a pan. Either method will work.
Hi, Natasha.
I saw that you used a cutting board to “cut” the broccoli florets. Is a hand-held cutting board better to do that with?
Thank you.
It depends on what you’re comfortable with but that works better for us.
OMG this is so easy and delish I change out meat veggies but luv it so easy quick……great to make when we camp
Great idea for camp! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review, Elaine!
Loved this recipe. I did velvet the chicken. Making again for dinner tonight. Love all you recipes and watching your videos on Facebook!
Thank you for that lovely feedback, Cheryl! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our videos!
hi Natasha,
I like your recipes very much and i tried them.
but i have hard time to find the links.
Hi Joanna, I’m not sure what you mean, but all of our recipes are here on our blog. You can either search by using the search bar at the top or by searching our RECIPES index at the top.
Hi Natasha,
It looks very delicious. I am going to make it, but I don’t like mushrooms. What can I put instead?
Hi Fatin, we love this recipe with mushrooms but you are welcome to omit them or replace them. Here is what one of our readers wrote “I subbed carrots for the mushrooms and it was delicious! TY for the recipe, it’s filed under family fav now!”
Looooks soooo yummy! what’s the recipe for a family of 8?
Hi Kylie, this recipe makes 4 so you can double it up! Also, if you scroll to the printable recipe card there is a serving count slider. Simply click on the red “4” and slide it to 8 servings. I hope that helps!
I’ve been looking for a simple chicken stir fry for years. Gave this recipe a try tonight and my search is over !!! The dish turned out great. I didn’t have sesame seeds so I added some cashews. Fantastic!
Sounds awesome, Cathy. It is so great to hear that you enjoyed this recipe, thanks for your good review!
I made this tonight (21 July) and it came out great. Wish I would have made more. It was a hit at my house!
Yay so awesome! You can make more next time.
The sauce and veggies were excellent but the chicken did not absorb the flavour so it felt a bit bland.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us! I have not had that experience but I’m more than happy to troubleshoot. Was anything altered in the recipe by chance? I’m curious if a little extra salt or sauce would help that.
Velveting the chicken first will have super soft Chinese restaurant-style chicken. That’s the way we all do it.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me Thomas!
I can’t seem to find at what point you add the garlic and ginger? I assume it is at the same time as with the broccoli, onion and mushroom, but it is not mentioned.
Hi Gabby, those are in the sauce ingredients list so you would combine them with the rest of the sauce ingredients.
Help… I have frozen broccoli florets only..will this be ok to use??
Hi, one of my readers reported the following for using frozen broccoli: ” I use frozen all the time I steam in the microwave first to drain any excess water and it cuts down the time it takes to cook. I just throw them in after the mushrooms cook down.” I hope that helps!
We loved this recipe. I have very fussy children – they picked just the chicken out but they loved the flavour. I will be cooking it again very soon. Thank you 🙂
So great to haer that the kids loved this recipe!
Excellent! I have two gluten free teens, a 21 year old and a very picky husband and this was a hit for all 5 of us! Flavorful without being too salty (and I didn’t use low sodium soy). We didn’t need to add any additional water; sauce was exactly the consistency we wanted. Will definitely make this one again!
Thanks for sharing that with us, Rose. So glad to hear that your family enjoyed this recipe!
I have a bag of broccli and baby carrots since I don’t have mushrooms could I cook those a little in the microwave and then add them once they are a little cooked ?
Hi Melissa, I bet that could work! If you experiment please let me know how you like that.
One word….Delicious
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Natasha!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I cooked it with my kids…we loved making it and then eating it…:D it was delicious!
THat’s just awesome! I bet your kids had a blast making this!
So glad I decided to try this! Didn’t have any mushrooms, I did have carrots which I julienned and added…came out terrific! You have a new fan, looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
I’m so happy to hear that, Ginger. Thanks for your awesome review!
Delicious and found a new recipe for chicken. Followed the recipe except for adding mushrooms and it was perfect! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, Marilyn! I’ms o glad you enjoyed that!

Hi Natasha,
I love you and your recipes. I am a teacher and a mom so your recipes are easy, entertaining to watch and so delicious!
This is my first time with this stirfry.
I’m so inspired reading your review. Thank you!
Thank you! Could you do a chicken curry recipe please
Thank you for that suggestion Sara! I’m adding it to my list!
Such a wonderful easy prepared dish! Thanks a lot Natash!
You’re very welcome!
Super easy stir fry dish! My family loves this and I have made it many times. I sometimes add shrimp. The sauce is amazing! Thank you Natasha!
That’s so great! I’m glad you enjoyed that Tina!
Hi Natasha!!
I don’t have cornstarch. Is there something else I can use to substitute for it. If so, how much would I need?
Hi Ava, using cornstarch as a thickener helps keep this gluten-free. You may try using flour but without testing it I’m unable to advise.
So good! I needed to make a meal without leaving my house for groceries so I used whatever I had on hand! I made this with chicken tenders and used a 16 oz package of frozen Asian vegetables since I didn’t have broccoli (I followed the cooking instructions on the bag for stovetop). I followed the sauce recipe exactly except substituted the fresh ginger for 1/8 tsp ginger powder. My husband usually doesn’t like the taste of sesame oil or ginger but this sauce was so balanced! Came out amazing!
I love it! Your comments make me smile, thank you so much for sharing that with us.
Just made this recipe. Followed exactly as shown. Turned out great! You are my go to for recipes. Yours never disappoint.
Spaseeba za pomashch!
Jerry
I’m so inspired reading this comment! Thank you so sharing that great review with us, Jerry!
Made this tonight and doubled the recipe it was great flavor but for some reason sauce didn’t thicken up even added extra corn starch but either way was really good flavor🤤🤤 love your recipes Natasha😘😘🙏🏽
Thanks for your good feedback!
Just curious, did you change this recipe recently? I feel like I’ve made this before, but used different ingredients
Yes it was slightly updated, Shannon. The best way to look at old versions of a recipe is to go to this site and paste the url of the recipe in the search bar. I hope that helps!
Natasha here can I find your notes I’m looking to find the note for the stir fry pan.
Hi Normanda, we have it linked in the recipe but you can also find it here.
I followed the recipe exactly. It was delicious. Next time I’ll double the recipe because it disappeared so fast like magic!! Thank you. N
Yay so great to hear that you enjoyed it, Joy. Thanks for your good review!
Hi Natasha!
Followed your recipe and it came out so well. Very yummy indeed. I had to substitute corn starch with potato as I didn’t have that in my pantry. Nevertheless the finished dish was amazing.
Love watching your videos and will make another one very soon.
Cheers!
Wonderful! Thanks for your great feedback and for trying out this recipe.
Doubled the sauce amounts like everyone suggested AND made this recipe with shrimps Instead of chicken!
Turned out absolutely delicious! Shrimps went so well with the Asian twist- can not recommend it enough.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review Yasmine!
Made this for dinner last night and it was so delicious!! Added some teriyaki into the sauce and it was perfect!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Dominique! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Made this last night and it was a hit! It was so flavorful and tasted like great takeout! Based on someone else’s suggestion, I added water chestnuts as well and it was yummy.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Loved this recipe. Made exactly as is and we loved. I used the leftover chicken from the spatchcock chicken! Will put this on our rotation. Souse was spot on. Thanks Natasha
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite Claudia! Thank you for that awesome review.
Hi Natasha
I tell you that I made the recipe for Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry on Saturday, it was something incredible, the whole family loved it, the only thing is that since I had no mushrooms, I changed them for carrot in pieces, just as it was delicious
Thank you!!!!!
I’m so happy you all enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Hey Natasha! I love watching your videos you make cooking look so easy and fun! It’s hard for me to find chicken stock/ making my own and I know you use them in a lot of your dishes… can I use water instead? Also would love if you made more recipes without chicken
stock so I can really taste the delicious foods that you make! thanks so much xoxo
Hi Jasmin, someone commented and shared this “Didn’t have broth or stock, just used water. This dish is delicious!! Will be making this again and again.”
Just made this hubby loved it thank you. Love your recipes. I added pepper and sweet corn.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Just made this my husband loved it best sauce I have made added a pepper and sweet corn as my hubby not to keen on broccoli I love it so just a little for myself. Love your recipes thank you
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review Sheila!
I really enjoyed this recipe!! I used diced store bought rotisserie chicken and it was still great. Thanks Natasha the family gave it raves.
That’s so awesome! Thank you for sharing that amazing review with me Brenda!
This looks delicious however I can not use mushrooms so if I leave them out do I need to make adjustments to the recipe?
Hi Stephanie, we love this recipe with mushrooms but you are welcome to omit them or replace them. Here is what one of our readers wrote “I subbed carrots for the mushrooms and it was delicious! TY for the recipe, it’s filed under family fav now!”
This looks like a great one I will try it soon I’ve been using a lot of your recipes since we are all doing a lot of cooking at home these days. Love how simple you keep them and they always taste great. What size is the cast iron pan you are using? I see there are several sizes to choose from Thanks
Sounds like a great plan! I used the 12″ Fr Pan, you can check out the kitchen tools that I use here in our Amazon Page.
It’s sad that you’re taking down old recipes:( I’ve noticed this happening overtime. Wish you had a way to just post improvised versions and leaving the old ones up. Guess I’ll just have it print everything out from now on. Thanks for all your hard work though!
This was so good and so easy. Loved the sauce – my husband said he was better than his favorite oriental restaurant. Thank you for the recipe.
What a great compliment from your husband, thank you for that!
I enjoy watching your videos and i have tried your beef and broccoli and my family loved it. Now I’m teying chicken with broccoli
I’m so glad you enjoyed that Saira! It is one of our favorites around here. I hope you love this chicken and broccoli recipe!
The old recipe with soy sauce and honey is far better. Can you put that one back on?
Hi Craig, you can sub with honey if you prefer.
Do you still have the original recipe exactly as it was? I loved it!
Hello Dee, the best way to look at old versions of a recipe is to go to this site and paste the url of the recipe in the search bar. I hope it helps!
I clicked on the site link you recommended & copied the url in from this recipe. I didn’t get the old recipe just a bunch of statistics & calendars. How do I access the old recipe on this site? Thx!
Hi Beverley, you would need to paste the URL of this recipe into that site to see it and then select a date that is provided.
Well, Natasha,,,, not only have you impressed me with the recipe[s] but I must say that your presence & posture in front of the camera certainly portrays you as a Kitchen Goddess par excellence that even Nigella Lawson & Silvia Colloca would feel as a rival.
By the by,,, many thanks for that link you provided to Josh on the 27th April. I’ve never come across that avenue before.
You’re welcome, Nick! I’m glad that was helpful and so happy you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for that amazing review.
My husband and I just finished eating this amazing dish! We loved it and I didn’t realize until just now that I forgot the Sesame Oil. Can’t wait to see how amazing it is with that ingredient added.
Thanks for sharing Samantha and good to know that it’s still delicious without the sesame oil. You can add it next time and share with us which version you like better.
Hi I just stumbled upon your recipe and I’m eager to make it soon I was wondering would it be weird to substitute the rice with some udon noodles instead? Would it not have the same impact as it would with rice ?
Hi Sai, I haven’t tested that but it sounds delicious! If you experiment, please let me know how you like that.
are you using regular sesame oil or toasted sesame oil? If it is toasted oil would you still use 1 tbsp? Love you videos and recipes Natasha! Thanks
Hi Judi, I used the regular for this one. Toasted sesame oil is a seasoning used more for flavoring after the dish is cooked because it doesn’t withstand high heat cooking as well. If you have toasted, I would suggest adding it at the end to taste.
You’re a gem! Thanks! Happy cooking and creating. May you and your family stay safe and healthy. Happy Mother’s Day!!!
All the Best, Judi

Hi Natasha, where did you buy your cast iron pan?
Hello Anna, you can see the kitchen tools that I use here in our Amazon Page. I hope that helps!
I made the chicken stir fry and it’s lovely! Thank you for your great recipes
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it Sara!
Any chance you can send me the original recipe using the honey and the original amounts of each ingredient? I make this weekly and to my surprise it changed this week and I am lost now! My wife and I loved it
Hello Josh, the best way to look at old versions of a recipe is to go to this site and paste the url of the recipe in the search bar. I hope that helps!
Hello Natasha!!!
Love the recipe. I made it for my family and they love it
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and so far everything I tried cooking from your website my family and I love it…
Thank you so much
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I’m all smiles!
Very nice, tasty. Needed a little more sauce so i’ll make the adjustments for next time I make it. Due to low carb diet served it on finely diced onion cooked in butter, then added grated cauliflower (using food processor), ie cauliflower rice. Very healthy.
That’s so great John! I’m so glad you enjoyed that.
A tempting dish. A quick and easy recipe to make. Very delicious too. Made for dinner and served with hot steaming rice.
It is so good! I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Hello Natasha!
I’m Mariana. I’m from Ukraine, but live in Switzerland. Love your recipes and your positivity.
Chicken stir fry was amazing and my husband can’t get enough of it!
I wanted to ask how many gramms or oz you mean by one portion? Do you think sugar could be replaced by honey?
Thanks a lot!
Greetings
Mariana
Thanks for your great feedback, Mariana. Honey should work well too, to get the ingredients in grams click on the recipe, click “Jump to recipe” then click “Metrics” and it will convert it in grams.
Can I use all purpose flour instead of corn starch?
Hi Susana, I have made it with flour in the past and it worked well.
I would suggest marinating the chicken in soy sauce, garlic and ginger while you prepare the veggies.
Thank you for that feedback Sue!
It was good, but I thought but the sauce needed a little something.
Thank you for that feedback Kim. Was anything altered in the recipe?
No, I prepared as written. I added a little more soy sauce at the table and that seemed to do the trick.
Every recipe of yours is a hit with my family.
Love it! Thanks for giving my recipes a try.
I come form a long line of great cooks. And….I am and loyal follower of Natasha’s Kitchen.
(I discovered her only because my #1 granddaughter shares the same first name). So, I am staying at home but managed to order from Amazon all the ingredients for this meal. It’s easy and just fantastic! The fresh ginger and garlic, tender chicken, just wonderful. Not too salty. Just delicious. Thank you, Beautiful, Natasha! As always, great meal! : )
Hello Carol, good to know that you’re cooking more these days. It’s a bit of a challenge to find all of the ingredients that we need lately but I’m glad that you were able to get them online. Enjoy cooking and thanks for giving your great feedback!
Have you ever thought about putting together your cookbook? You have so many fantastic recipes….& I’d love to have them all organized in a book….so I don’t have to print them all up!! Thanks! I’m sure you’d sell a lot of your recipe books! 🙂
Hello Kathy, I am working on a cookbook, although it’s taking me some time to finish it I’ll make sure to share it with everyone once it’s ready.
What kind of skillet did you use and where do i find one??
Sandy
Hi Sandy, we love using this heavy skillet here for recipes like this.
Could this be made with a different veggie besides brocolli? I have some in my family who don’t like it.
Hi Anita, That should work! If adding more vegetables, you might add a little more soy sauce as the liquid released from veggies can dilute the sauce some.
Natasha’ love your recipe’s. Glad I sign up to your web-site. Your recipe’s are great & easy & I like to follow you on my email, Thanks!

I don’t have mushrooms and I’m not running to the store during this time. Any suggestions for a good replacement?
Hello Heather, you can probably use tofu or zucchini.
Found it.
So…where are the notes with the secret for the white rice? Please.
Hi Eileen, we have it bookmarked in the recipe post but you can also find it here. I hope that helps.
Love your website–how could that be made vegan–tofue
Hi Sandra, I haven’t experimented with tofu to be honest so I’m not sure what to advise in the preparation, but I would omit the chicken and swap it out for tofu – I’m just not sure about the prep of tofu.
Looks great! Trying to find the link to your cast iron skillet?
Hi Louie, our favorite tools can be found on our Blog Shop HERE. I hope that helps.
Everyone at my house loved it! Such a delicious weeknight meal!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Toni!
This broccoli beef was so tasty and full of flavor. I made it in the slow cooker and it turned out amazing.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Stephanie!
This is going to be a new family favorite, I can tell already.
Thanks Natasha! Made tonight and added zucchini, julienne carrots, And water chestnuts. Delicious!
That’s just awesome Nigel! Thank you for that great review!
Really tasty. My fussy lot loved this. Simple to make too
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us Sam!
Natasha, I love your recipes! I will be making this one this week!
Hope you love it, Meg!
Looking forward to making this!
Hope you love it Kara!
Made this recipe for lunch. It was delicious!
That’s awesome, Bonnie. Thank you for your great feedback!
Nice and easy. Tasted great! We added cashews for some crunch:)
That’s great, Jen. Thanks for the tip and wonderful review!
Confusing. Some ingredients in pound & ounces, some in USA cups. Why not stick to one ie imperial would make life easier. I had to ‘google’ every cup measurement!
Hi Marion, I added metric measurements to the recipe card so if you click on “Metric” in the recipe card, you can see the gram and ml measurements. I hope that helps! We are working through our recipes to add those.
Too sweet! Since when does stir fry cuisine taste like dessert? Ditch the honey. Maybe 1/2 the broth and sone hoisin sauce and it will be edible.
Hi Judi, you can absolutely do that and add sweetness to taste or leave it out if that is what you prefer.
Love this! I need a new pan though. Is there such a thing that is nonstick and “heavy bottomed” that can handle high heat?
Hi Anne, our favorite kitchen tools can be found here. There are some nice heavy-duty pans out there.
This is one of the few recipes my husband asked to make again! A lot of Asian recipes include a step to marinate the meat. Would marinating the chicken work with this recipe?
Hi Jenny, I’m not sure that would work well. I like to brown the chicken first to keep it juicy inside. It would be a completely different method if you marinated the chicken first. Usually if you marinate chicken in a sauce, you discard that part of the sauce – I’m not sure I would want to pour the marinating sauce over the veggies.
Easy and tastes great. Hubby loved it and we will be eating leftovers tomorrow.
That’s so awesome Rhonda! Thank you for that awesome review!
Can I us frozen broccoli?
Hi Misty, one of my readers reported the following for using frozen broccoli: ” I use frozen all the time I steam in the microwave first to drain any excess water and it cuts down the time it takes to cook. I just throw them in after the mushrooms cook down”
Tried this recipe adding yellow & red bell peppers, thin sliced carrots and water chestnuts just to fill it out a little for company. I added a little oyster sauce to the mix too. Family LOVED the sauce.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Jack!
This is so good…eating it now. Didn’t have any onion (hubby threw it out) OR fresh ginger…used a little onion salt and some good quality ginger powder. Yum. Just wish I would have been reminded at the beginning of making this to start the rice! Guess that happens when you enjoy a glass of wine while cooking :). Will definitely make again…with rice…and will be sharing this delicious recipe! Hubby is going back for seconds now…I’m afraid I won’t have any leftover for lunch tomorrow 🙁
I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Buffy! Thank you for sharing that with us!
I am impressed with how easy this was, how delicious AND it actually looked just like your photos. That hardly ever happens. Will be pursuing your other recipes for more yummy dinners to make. Thanks
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
