Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (divided use)
– 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced and peeled
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth or water
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 3 tablespoons honey
– 2 teaspoons cornstarch
– salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli and carrots; cook for about 4 minutes until theyβre tender but still have a nice crunch.
2-Remove the vegetables from the pan and cover them to keep warm. Wipe the pan clean to start fresh.
3-Increase the heat to high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
4-Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then cook them in a single layer for 3-4 minutes per side until theyβre golden brown and cooked through. Do this in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
5-Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until itβs fragrant and amazing.
6-Return the vegetables to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes to warm them up.
7-In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth (or water), honey, and soy sauce.
8-Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to make a slurry.
9-Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, then cook for 30 seconds. Add the cornstarch mixture, bring it to a boil, and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
10-Serve immediately, and if you like, pair it with rice for a complete meal!
