Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (1 lb) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • (2 cups) broccoli florets
  • (1/4 cups) honey
  • (1/4 cups) soy sauce
  • (2 tbsp) apple cider vinegar
  • (3 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1 tsp) ground ginger
  • (1 tsp) cornstarch
  • (2 tbsp) water
  • (1/4 tsp) black pepper
  • (1 tbsp) sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together (1/4 cup) honey, (1/4 cup) soy sauce, (2 tbsp) apple cider vinegar, (3 cloves) minced garlic, (1 tsp) ground ginger, and (1/4 tsp) black pepper to create the sauce.

  2. 2

    Cut the (1 lb) chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, heat (2 tbsp) olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    While the chicken is simmering, steam the (2 cups) broccoli florets until bright green and tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, mix (1 tsp) cornstarch with (2 tbsp) water until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet with the chicken and sauce to thicken it, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve the honey garlic chicken over steamed broccoli, garnished with (1 tbsp) sesame seeds if desired.
