Ingredients

For the Stir-Fry:

 

• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 1 lb chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil (or sesame oil)

 

For the Sauce:

• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for richness)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water to make a slurry)
• ️ 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

 

Directions

Prep the Chicken & Broccoli:

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the Broccoli:

In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and stir-fry the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until it turns bright green and slightly tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Make the Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the mixture.

Combine & Simmer:

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to coat evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything beautifully.

Serve:

Plate the stir-fry over steamed rice, noodles, or enjoy it on its own for a low-carb meal. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions, if desired.

Tips & Variations:

Add Veggies: Include bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for a colorful twist.

Protein Swap: Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef strips.

Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
