Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes, until they are crisp-tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli. Toss to combine.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and broccoli.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free chicken with broccoli dish.
