Ingredients

• 1 cup chicken broth 🍲
• 1/4 cup soy sauce 🥢
• 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
• 2 tbsp honey 🍯
• 1 tbsp cornstarch 🌽
• 1 tsp ginger, minced 🍃
• 1 tsp sesame oil 🌾
• 2 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil) 🛢️
• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces 🍗
• 4 cups broccoli florets 🥦
• Cooked rice, for serving 🍚
• Sesame seeds, for garnish 🌾

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce 🥣
   In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, cornstarch, minced ginger, and sesame oil until the cornstarch is dissolved.
2. Cook the Chicken 🍗
   In a large skillet or wok over high heat, heat the neutral oil. Add the chicken pieces and cook, undisturbed, until they easily release from the pan, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
3. Cook the Broccoli 🥦
   In the same skillet over medium-low heat, add the broccoli and pour in the broth mixture. Toss to coat. Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam until crisp-tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Combine and Thicken 🍽️
   Uncover the skillet and return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken and broccoli are well coated, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
5. Serve and Enjoy 🍚🌾
   Divide the cooked rice among plates or bowls. Spoon the stir-fry over the rice and top with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
