Quick Honey Garlic Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry
This stir-fry bowl combines juicy chicken cooked in a sweet and savory honey-garlic sauce with crisp broccoli, served over a bed of rice. The dish is ready in just 20 minutes and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Combine: Pour the honey-garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
