Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups broccoli florets
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the chicken by cutting into uniform bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pour the honey and garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli.
Allow the sauce to bubble and reduce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze that coats the ingredients well.
Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Use low-sodium soy sauce to avoid over-salting the dish. For an extra kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
