Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

So light, quick and delicious!  I served ours with some white rice, but brown rice would do just fine.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-2 large chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cubed
-1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
-3 Tbs vegetable oil, divided
For marinade:
-3 green onions, cleaned and sliced
-1 clove garlic, minced
-1/2 tsp ground ginger
-1 Tbs soy sauce
-2 Tbs sugar
-1 tsp cornstarch
-1 tsp salt
-1 Tbs chicken broth
-1 Tbs sesame oil
For sauce:
-1 Tbs cornstarch
-1/3 cup water
-1 clove garlic, minced
-1/2 tsp ground ginger
-2 Tbs water
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp pepper
-1 tsp red pepper flakes
-1 Tbs hoisin sauce
To garnish:
-toasted sesame seeds
Directions:
Combine all marinade ingredients and mix well.  Add the chicken and stir to coat evenly.  Let it sit on your kitchen counter for about 15 minutes.
Mix the 1 Tbs cornstarch with the 1/3 cup water.  Set aside.
Heat 1 Tbs of the vegetable oil in large skillet.  Add the broccoli, garlic, ginger, 2 Tbs water, salt and pepper.  Stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green but still crisp.  Remove from heat and transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, heat remaining 2 Tbs oil.  Add the chicken and everything else that was in that bowl.  Add the pepper flakes too.  Stir-fry until chicken is cooked through and is golden brown.  Add the hoisin sauce.  Return the broccoli and stir in the reserved cornstarch-water mixture.  Bring to a boil.
Serve hot over rice and garnish with sesame seeds.  Enjoy!
