                                Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil divided
 - 1 medium onion sliced into thin strips, about 1 ½ cups
 - 4 cloves garlic minced
 - 1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 2 inch pieces
 - 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
 - ⅓ cup less sodium soy sauce
 - 2 tablespoons honey
 - 1 tablespoon chili paste
 - 3 cups broccoli florets bite size pieces
 - cooked white rice for serving, optional
 
Instructions
- Heat a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon of oil, and let it warm for a few seconds. Add the onion strips and let them cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and stir. Push the garlic and onion to the outside of the pan.
 - Pour the remaining oil in the center of the skillet. Add the chicken. Spread across the skillet and sprinkle with cornstarch. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes, until browned, and then use a sturdy metal spatula to lift and flip each piece of chicken. Cook for 1 minute.
 - While the chicken is cooking, stir together the soy sauce, honey, and chili paste. Add the sauce to the skillet and stir to combine.
 - Add the broccoli on top of the other ingredients and cover with lid. Cook for 2 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green and barely softened. Remove the lid and stir, scraping up any bits of sauce or meat from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer 1 minute to thicken the sauce, stirring frequently. Serve on its own or over rice, if desired.
 
Make-Ahead Directions
- Store this in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. This can be stored in one large container or portioned into individual servings for storage and reheating.
 
Notes
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts may be substituted for the thighs in this recipe. However, breasts will cook faster, so take care not to overcook.
