Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 300 grams Broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size strips and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon honey. Add the chicken strips to this mixture and let it marinate for 5-10 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the broccoli by washing it and cutting it into bite-size florets. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 4

In another small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, chicken broth, and a pinch of red chili flakes.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's no longer pink. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and broccoli.

Step 9

Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 11

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete, satisfying meal. Enjoy!
