History

Chicken and broccoli developed in Chinese restaurants of the United States where it became widely popular, and is not based on authentic Chinese cuisine.[1][2]

Preparation

The dish is prepared by stir frying blanched broccoli florets and seared pieces of chicken breast.[3] The chicken is often velveted to tenderize it.[4] The stir fry typically includes a "brown sauce" made with oyster sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and Shaoxing wine.[5][6][7] Some recipes substitute Shaoxing wine with sherry.[8]
