Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch divided
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic about 3 cloves
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoons canola oil or grapeseed oil or another neutral oil divided
- 2 broccoli crowns cut into small florets, about 5 to 6 cups
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 chopped green onions about 1/2 cup
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- Cooked brown rice or quinoa for serving
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a medium bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
- In a small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, water, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
- In a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Sear the chicken on all sides until it is golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Add another 1/2 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over the top. Stir to combine, then let cook until the sauce has thickened a little, about 1 minute. Stir in the sesame oil and green onion. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy hot with rice.
