Ingredients
2-3tbsphealthy cooking fat or oil of your choice
1.7lbskinless, boneless chicken breastscut into 1-1/2" chunks
In a large bowl or glass measuring cup, combine all the ingredients for the sauce, whisk until well combined and set aside. If you happen to have a stick blender, now would be a good time to take it out: it makes the blending so much easier!
Heat the fat or oil in a large wok or skillet set over high heat. Once hot, add the pieces of chicken and cook until completely opaque and cooked all the way through, about 8 minutes.
Drain excess liquid from pan if necessary, then add the onions and almonds and sauté for about 2 minutes, until the onions are softened. Add the broccoli and sauté for about 30 seconds, then add the sauce and stir well; continue cooking for about 1 minute, until the broccoli is cooked to your liking and the sauce has thickened.
Remove from heat and serve with a side of white rice, garnished with chopped green onions, if desired.
