How to Make Savory Delicious Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, wash and cut the broccoli into florets, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Sauté Chicken: Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until it's browned on all sides and cooked through.
  4. Add Garlic and Broccoli: Stir in the minced garlic and broccoli florets. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, allowing the broccoli to become bright green while retaining its crunchy texture.
  5. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes. Pour this mixture over the chicken and broccoli, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  6. Finish Cooking: Allow the stir fry to heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Plate the stir fry over steamed rice or noodles if desired. Drizzle any leftover sauce on top.

Notes

Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a lovely finishing touch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
