A Quebec recipe, this. extremely straightforward and simple. If you’d like, you can add nuts. The poor man’s pudding, which uses brown sugar syrup, has been “upgraded” by the addition of maple syrup. Eventually, the maple syrup will reach the bottom.

Ingredients
- 6 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 zucchini, cut into rounds and quartered
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 cup broccoli florets, cut into pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Mix chicken, soy sauce, sherry, and cornstarch together in a large bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat; cook and stir zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken broth, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables and sauce to a large bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat; cook and stir chicken until meat is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetables; continue to cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with green onions.
- I usually at least double this recipe. You don’t have to be exact on the proportions, just use enough cornstarch so that the sauce at the end is thick enough.

Reviews
I made this as written. It needs something more. We both thought it was bland. We sprinkled some soy sauce at the table, it helped a little. I’m thinking a little ginger might make it not so bland. I’m open for suggestions.
Great flexibility, easy and important tips
Very nice basic recipe, but for us it was a little bland. Will make it again with little adjustments.
This was easy! We added spinach and mushrooms. Brown rice. Will make again!
This is a brilliant recipe. You can wrap up everything between 20 to 30 minutes. Goes well with sticky rice.
It turned out awesome! I had to leave out some of the veggies in my husband’s and add some different ones he likes but stuck to the exact recipe for mine and we both loved it.
This was a hit with my family
This was a pretty good chicken stir-fry recipe. Very easy & pretty quick. I used frozen stir-fry veggies because it’s what I had so I cut the cooking time a little. I also doubled the sauce. All-in-all, I would make it again.
I have made this several times and everyone always enjoys it. Vary it with different vegetables, whatever is on hand, & double or even triple it. Yummy! It’s a great, healthy meal that is quick to fix.
Easy to make and quite tasty
Would add more colorful vegetables but is a good basic recipe.
very bland and a lot of work for the flavor. really needs something
I’m completely new to food prep and was able to knock this out. pretty straightforward, lots of room to customize if you please. I highly recommend adding some sweet chili sauce when eating.
Garlic and green onions provided just the right flavor. Will use less chicken bro
kinda plain,needs more flavor
I used stir-fry vegetables purchased at Trader Joes, which eliminated cutting up all the veggies. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. It was easy and so delicious!!
Quick and easy to make. Very delicious. I didn’t have cooking sherry so substituted rice wine. Also, added bean sprouts on top to finish. Will definitely make this again.
Loved the recipe but the photo is deceiving. It shows mushrooms and red pepper which are not ingredients in the recipe. It also pictured the stir fry over rice and noodles…not suggested. In spite of that, it was a great recipe. I did add mushrooms and served it over brown rice with soy sauce on the side. I would definitely make it again and include the red pepper and mushrooms.
Substituted white wine and it was delicious! Definitely a keeper.
Delightful…..followed recipe!
it was yummy.
