One-Pan Honey Garlic Chicken and Broccoli Dinner

This easygoing One-Pan Honey Garlic Chicken and Broccoli Dinner combines tender chicken and vibrant broccoli coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Begin with prepping all your ingredients—cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and chop the broccoli into florets.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the olive oil.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: Add your cubed chicken to the pan, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Add Garlic and Ginger: Once the chicken is cooked, add in minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce over the chicken.
  6. Add the Broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets and stir well to coat them in the sauce. Let everything simmer for about 5 minutes.
  7. Thicken the Sauce: Stir the cornstarch slurry to combine, then add it to the pan. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Serve It Up: Spoon the chicken and broccoli over bowls of rice or noodles and drizzle with extra sauce.

Notes

For a beautiful presentation, serve on a large platter and garnish with sesame seeds or green onions.
