How to Make Sweet And Sour Chicken And Broccoli

  1. Whisk together the sauce ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until browned.
  4. Add 2 cups broccoli florets to the wok and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Crumble the cooked bacon over the stir-fry.
  7. Serve immediately over white rice or fried rice. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional). Enjoy!
  8. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
