Sesame Chicken with Broccoli Recipe
A few years back I shared a simple recipe for Sesame Chicken and it has been an absolute blog and meal plan favorite ever since. More than just a blog favorite, it’s a household favorite and something I personally prepare at least 1-2 times a month. Usually when I am making it at home, I add whatever veggies I have on hand – broccoli, green beans, asparagus, snap peas, snow peas, cabbage, red peppers, or a mix. Since lately some questions have been rolling in about the best way to add veggies, I thought it was worth it to share this veggie packed version of sesame chicken. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Mine came out a bit dry. I usually use chicken thighs but this time I got some breasts on sale. Is that why it came out Dry? Or maybe I over cooked the chicken? The flavor was really good and I wished I had doubled the sauce.

My best guess is that it was a bit overcooked. Depending on the size of the chicken pieces, it can cook a bit more quickly.

Delicious! Fast and easy! We ate it with brown rice and sesame green beans.

This was really good. Make again, but make sure and use low salt products. Very easy to make.

Good flavor and easy to make, except that it is SO easy to overcook the broccoli. I avoid that by adding almost/barely done broccoli at the point where I've just thickened the sauce with a bit of flour, and I fold it in. By the time it's mixed in, it's done. It'll be a regular.

Sorry about any confusion this caused. Normally stock and broth are the same thing. I will update the instructions. Hope you enjoy it!
