Ingredients
– 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or substitute with coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
– 1/4 cup water
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (about 5 grams)
– 2 cloves minced garlic (about 10 grams)
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water to form a slurry)
– 1/4 cup cornstarch or arrowroot flour (about 30 grams)
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 30 grams)
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 450 grams)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cups broccoli florets (about 400 grams)
– 1/4 cup diced green onions (about 20 grams, for garnish)
Instructions
1-Start by preparing all your ingredients to make the process smooth. This includes washing and cutting broccoli into florets and dicing chicken into bite-sized pieces. Measuring out the sauce components ahead of time ensures everything comes together quickly.
2-Next, mix the honey sesame sauce in a bowl by whisking together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil to cook the chicken until it’s golden and fully cooked, which takes about 6-8 minutes.
3-Remove the chicken and stir-fry the broccoli in the same pan for 4-5 minutes until it’s bright green and tender-crisp. Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens, then serve hot.

🥦 Avoid overcooking broccoli to keep it crisp and avoid watery texture.
❄️ For frozen broccoli, microwave less than package instructions and drain well before adding.
