- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp cooking oil (olive or vegetable)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing broccoli and cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Slice chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking.
- Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add cooking oil. Once hot, cook the chicken until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Add minced garlic and broccoli florets to the skillet; cook for another 3-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and a splash of water. Pour over the chicken and broccoli mixture.
