Ingredients
- – 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (15 ml + 5 ml) divided use
- – 1 cup thinly sliced peeled carrots (128 g)
- – 2 cups broccoli florets (250 g)
- – 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces (454 g)
- – 4 cloves garlic, minced
- – 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth or water (60 ml)
- – 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml)
- – 3 tablespoons honey (45 ml)
- – 2 teaspoons cornstarch (7 g)
- – salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by warming 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Introduce the broccoli and carrots, allowing them to cook for around 4 minutes, until they soften.
- Take the vegetables out of the skillet; set them aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Clean the skillet with a paper towel and increase the heat to high.
- Pour in the remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken pieces, then lay them in the skillet in one layer. You might need to cook them in batches. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden and fully cooked.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Return the vegetables to the skillet and let them heat for an additional 2 minutes until warmed through.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, honey, and soy sauce by whisking them together.
- In a separate small bowl, blend the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water.
- Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, cooking for 30 seconds.
- Incorporate the cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil, and let it cook for 1 more minute until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Serve immediately, with rice if you wish.
Notes
- Marinate chicken in a mix of soy sauce, honey, and garlic for extra flavor.
- Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick to the sauce.
- Thicken sauce by increasing cornstarch mixed with water before adding to skillet.
