Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, cubed
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp water
1 tsp cornstarch
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, water, and cornstarch until smooth and completely dissolved. Set aside.
2. Season & Sear the Chicken: Season the cubed chicken breasts lightly with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F / 74°C). Transfer the chicken to a plate.
3. Cook the Broccoli: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
4. Add Garlic: Push the broccoli to the side of the pan, add the minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Glaze & Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Give the honey garlic sauce a quick stir, then pour it over the chicken and broccoli. Toss continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce bubbles, thickens, and coats every piece in a shiny glaze.
6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm on its own, over cauliflower rice, or alongside steamed jasmine rice!
