Fresh And Easy General Tso'S Chicken With Broccoli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil (preferably peanut)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
4 cups steamed broccoli florets, for serving
cooked brown rice, for serving

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss the chicken chunks with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Spread the cubes out and bake until they're cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the oil, garlic, and ginger on medium for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the broth, soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, honey, plus the sriracha and simmer 3 minutes.
Whisk the remaining cornstarch into 2 tablespoons water; add that and heat until the mixture has thickened, about 30 seconds.
Add the cooked chicken to the pan with the sauce and toss together. Serve alongside the broccoli and over brown rice.
