Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Chicken and Broccoli is an enjoyable process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
2. Heating the Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking until they are browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Combine Sauces: In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved.
6. Return Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sautéed garlic and ginger.
7. Add Sauce: Pour the honey sauce mixture over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
8. Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, mixing them in with the chicken and sauce.
9. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the broccoli to steam and become tender while absorbing the chicken’s flavors.
10. Finish: Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
