Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 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
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash broccoli florets under cold water and chop into bite-sized pieces. If frozen, thaw chicken breasts.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Serve It Up: Plate your chicken and broccoli, drizzling extra sauce over each serving for added flavor.
