Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups optional cooked rice or noodles (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the broccoli florets. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and broccoli evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles, if desired, for a complete meal.
