Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a little heat)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  5. Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until it’s tender-crisp.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the sauce mixture. Stir well to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  7. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a little heat and stir to combine.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
