Ingredients
  

Stir Fry
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil plus 1 tsp, divided
  • 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the carrots and broccoli for 4 minutes until crisp tender. Remove and keep warm.
  2. Wipe the pan, heat the remaining oil over high heat. Season the chicken and cook in a single layer for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and 165°F.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Whisk the broth, soy sauce and honey. Mix the cornstarch with the cold water.
  5. Return the vegetables to the pan, add the soy mixture and stir 30 seconds. Add the slurry and simmer 1 to 2 minutes until thick.
  6. Season to taste and serve over rice.

Notes

Use thighs for extra juicy chicken. Store leftovers up to 4 days in the fridge.
