Ingredients

• 1 + 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)

• 2 tbsp cornstarch

• 1 bag broccoli

• 1 container white rice

• 4 garlic cloves (minced)

• 1/3 cup honey

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1/2 tsp chili flakes

• olive oil

Optional

• 1/2 tsp chili flakes

• sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1/4 tsp salt and cornstarch until evenly coated.

2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and about halfway cooked through. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss well to coat in the sauce. Let is cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

5. Meanwhile, steam broccoli for about 5 minutes, or until tender.

6. Serve the chicken over a bed of rice with steamed broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
