Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine chicken broth, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, pepper, sesame oil, and corn starch; whisk until cornstarch dissolves. Set aside.
In a large saute pan or wok, heat 1 T. oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken; cook for 5-7 minutes or until chicken starts to brown. Transfer chicken to a platter; set aside.
Add remaining 1/2 T. oil to the pan; saute broccoli, mushrooms, and onions together until broccoli turns bright green and mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sauce to the pan; toss to coat. When sauce starts to thicken after 1-2 minutes, transfer the chicken back into the pan; toss to coat.
Serve hot over favorite cooked rice.
4-5 servings.
Tip: Other vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers or zucchini could be substituted for the broccoli and/or mushrooms, if desired.
