Broccoli-Almond Chicken

Stir-fry is one of my favorite foods. I love the flexibility of it and the fact that it never has to be the same. Plus it is super easy to make for one...so I tend to live off it while the husband is deployed.

We both really liked this stir-fry. It had a nice subtle lemon flavor.

Sauce
Juice of 1 lemon

1 tsp lemon zest

2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbps broth or water

1 tsp cornstarch

Whisk together all ingredients and set aside.

Stir Fry:
1 tbsp vegetable oil

1/2 lb boneless-skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 a small yellow onion, chopped

2 tsp minced fresh ginger

1 large head broccoli, cut into florets

1/3 cup almonds, cut in half lengthwise

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, onion, and ginger, and cook, stirring, until chicken is cooked through. Add the broccoli florets and a few tablespoons of water. Cook until broccoli is crisp-tender. Add the sauce and almonds, and stir until sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and broccoli.
