Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast Lean protein that stays juicy and flavorful.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Provides depth and umami flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Honey Adds natural sweetness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Aromatic flavor enhancer.
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Grated ginger adds zesty kick.
  • 2 cups Broccoli Nutritious, crunchy vegetable.
  • 2 cups Rice Serves as a hearty base.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well.
  3. Add the chicken to the bowl and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. While the chicken marinates, steam or microwave the broccoli until tender, about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Add broccoli to the skillet in the last minute of cooking, stirring to combine with the chicken.
  3. Serve the sticky chicken and broccoli over cooked rice. Enjoy!

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate chicken longer, ideally 30 minutes. Substitute chicken thighs for juiciness. Add red pepper flakes for spice. Using a rice cooker can save time.
