Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts and cooked ham into thin, bite-sized strips approximately 2 x 1 x 1/4 inches.
  2. Prepare the broccoli by cutting into small florets and thinly slicing the green onions.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, dry sherry, cornstarch, minced ginger, and light corn syrup to create the sauce mixture.
  4. Heat the corn oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add the chicken strips to the hot wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.
  6. Add the ham strips and broccoli florets to the wok, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, tossing quickly to coat everything evenly.
  8. Continue to stir-fry for another minute until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  9. Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle with the thinly sliced green onions.
  10. Serve hot alongside steamed rice or noodles.
