Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked rice (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the broccoli florets.
Stir fry the broccoli for 3–4 minutes until it is bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
Pour the soy-garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet. Stir well to thicken the sauce.
Cook for 1–2 additional minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well coated in the sauce.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot over cooked rice, and enjoy!
