Honey-Soy Chicken with Broccoli and Mushrooms

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. In a separate small cup, stir the cornstarch with the water.

2. 2

   Pat the chicken dry, dear, so it browns instead of steaming. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer it to a plate.

3. 3

   Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the mushrooms for 3 minutes, then add the broccoli and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3–4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.

4. 4

   Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the honey-soy mixture. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1–2 minutes, tossing until the sauce turns glossy and coats everything.

5. 5

   Serve over rice with green onions and sesame seeds, if you like. Don’t overcook the broccoli—it should still have a little bite, bless it.
