Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced chicken breast, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned; remove and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 3 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to the broccoli. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes until smooth.
Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving warm.
