Instructions

Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: While chicken cooks, steam 3 cups fresh broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Set aside.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves.
Step 4: Pour the ginger-sesame sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Step 5: Add steamed broccoli to the skillet and toss gently to combine and warm through.
Step 6: Sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the dish before serving.
