Instructions
Prepare the stir fry sauce by adding all of the ingredients together and whisking sauce until mixed well. Set aside.
Place ramen noodles in bowl of hot water and let sit for 3 minutes. Then drain hot water and rinse in cold water. Set aside.OPTIONAL: Put your cut up broccoli in some hot water so it will start to soften while you are cooking the chicken.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, add oil. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook chicken until done and no longer pink. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Cover chicken with foil to keep warm.
Drain broccoli (if you had it sit in hot water). Add cut up broccoli along with 1 tbsp. of water to the skillet you cooked the chicken in. Let it cook/steam until it turns bright green and begins to soften. Cook broccoli to your liking. Add chicken back into the pan.
Take your prepared sauce and whisk it again to make sure everything is mixed well. Pour sauce into the pan over the chicken and broccoli. Mix well, making sure the sauce covers it all.
Add your drained ramen noodles and mix well. Let the saucen thicken a bit, then remove from heat.
Top with chopped green onions (or you can put green onions on each individual serving). Serve immediately.
