Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups broccoli florets washed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated

Sauce Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

1 In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and dissolved cornstarch to make the sauce. Set aside.
2 Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3 Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4 In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5 Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
6 Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to coat all pieces evenly.
7 Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
8 Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving.
