Honey Sesame Chicken Broccoli

Fill a large pot with 2-3 inches of water and add the broccoli along with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 6 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain the broccoli in a colander and rinse with cold water.

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and sesame seeds. Set the sauce aside.

Place the chicken pieces in a large plastic zipper bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Sprinkle the mixture onto the chicken, seal the bag, and toss to coat evenly.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the chicken pieces in a single layer in the skillet. Cook without moving them for 2-3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook the remaining sides until the chicken is golden all around and fully cooked with no pink in the center.

Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the prepared sauce over it with the heat on medium-low. Toss the chicken to coat and bring the sauce to a simmer. Stir until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.

If there is room in your skillet, add the broccoli to the chicken and gently fold to incorporate evenly. Otherwise, use a separate bowl or pot to combine. Sprinkle with diced green onions and serve warm.
