Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- For the Broccoli:
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch until well combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Meanwhile, steam the broccoli in a separate pot for about 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Drizzle olive oil over the steamed broccoli and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the honey garlic chicken over a bed of steamed broccoli, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time; store the chicken and broccoli separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, and steam the broccoli again for a couple of minutes before serving.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
