Ingredients
Gather these simple ingredients for a dish that’s as delightful as it is effortless:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re out of soy sauce, tamari makes a great gluten-free alternative. Don’t have broccoli? Swap it with snap peas or carrots — this recipe is as versatile as it is delicious.
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add garlic, red bell pepper, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp and vibrant.
- Pour the honey-soy mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle ginger and red pepper flakes for an extra layer of flavor.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately over your favorite rice or noodles.
Remember, patience is key. Letting the sauce thicken slightly is what makes it stick to every bite, ensuring each mouthful is bursting with flavor.
