Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb chicken breast cubes seasoned with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until edges are golden and chicken is cooked through.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Pour this honey-ginger mixture over the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Step 3: While the chicken cooks, place 3 cups broccoli florets in a steamer basket over a pot with 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
- Step 4: Serve the glazed chicken bites hot alongside the steamed broccoli for a balanced, flavorful meal.
