Chicken Breast with Broccoli

This is the answer to the eternal weeknight-dinner problem: something quick, satisfying, and low on cleanup. Chicken breast and broccoli cook together in a single skillet in a matter of minutes, and a light soy-cornstarch sauce ties everything together without weighing the dish down.

The trick to keeping the chicken juicy is not overcooking it. Cut into small pieces, it’s done in about 5-7 minutes over high heat — leave it on the pan too long and it turns dry and stringy no matter how good the sauce is. If you’re unsure, cut into the largest piece; it should be opaque white all the way through with no pink left.

Chicken breast has a split reputation. On one hand, it’s one of the cheapest, most accessible sources of protein around. On the other, it’s shorthand for bland “diet food” that’s disappointingly easy to overcook. In truth, chicken breast deserves better — get the technique right and it turns out juicy, and nutritionally it’s genuinely one of the most convenient meats for everyday cooking.

Nutritional profile

Skinless chicken breast is a concentrated protein source with relatively little fat: roughly 110-165 calories per 100 g of cooked meat depending on the cooking method, and about 22-31 g of protein in that same portion. Fat content is low, especially once the skin is removed before cooking — the skin and the fat just underneath it account for most of chicken’s calorie load. That ratio makes chicken breast a useful staple both for people watching their overall calorie intake and for those who need more protein, whether they train regularly or are recovering from illness.
