Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce.
- Toss the sliced chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
- Add the chicken in a single layer and cook without moving for 3 minutes, until deeply browned. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Return the chicken to the wok. Pour the sauce over everything and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
Notes
For a spicier dish, add extra red pepper flakes or a chopped fresh chili. For a gluten-free version, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
