Description

Enjoy a quick, nutritious meal with tender chicken and vibrant broccoli, all coated in a savory sauce—perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash broccoli florets under cold water and chop into bite-sized pieces. If frozen, thaw chicken breasts.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add in the Broccoli: Toss in broccoli florets with half a cup of water. Cover the skillet and steam for about 5 minutes until broccoli is tender yet crisp.
  5. Make It Saucy: In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour into the skillet along with any remaining marinade; stir constantly until thickened (about 1 minute).
  6. Serve It Up: Plate your chicken and broccoli, drizzling extra sauce over each serving for added flavor.
