Description
Delicious Honey Garlic Chicken and Broccoli: A Weeknight Favorite
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 cup cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the broccoli and a splash of water. Steam the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the skillet, combine the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Return the chicken and broccoli to the skillet, tossing everything to coat evenly with the delectable honey garlic sauce. Serve the dish over cooked white or brown rice, and optionally, garnish with toasted sesame seeds for a little extra crunch and flavor.
