Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups broccoli florets

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional for thickening)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through.

        Add Broccoli: Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli florets to the pan. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

          Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

            Thicken the Sauce (optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to the pan. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

              Serve: Remove from heat, and serve warm over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
