Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry
Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry. A quick and easy one skillet weeknight meal that takes less than 30 minutes to make!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil, divided
- 2 cups broccoli
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame seeds for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add in the broccoli and sauté until tender and caramelized, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan. I cook my chicken in two batches to ensure it gets crispy and caramelized on the outside. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl combine soy sauce, water, honey and sesame oil.
- Add the sauce to the pan along with the broccoli. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
Notes
Double or even triple the sauce for this honey garlic chicken stir fry to serve over rice!
Swap the vegetables! Asparagus, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, and zucchini would be delicious additions.
Add some heat! 🔥 Spice it up by adding some sriracha, chili oil, red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
Use low sodium soy sauce to better control the amount of salt in this dish!
