Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0.25 cup Soy Sauce, 2 tablespoons Honey, 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil, 2 cloves minced Garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated Ginger.

  6. 6Add the 4 cups Broccoli Florets to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and bright green.
  7. 7Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything.
  8. 8Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
