Creating this incredible Honey Sesame Chicken and Broccoli can be straightforward by following these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Broccoli: Add broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
5. Combine with Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
