A delightful stir-fry recipe featuring tender chicken in a flavorful garlic honey sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, soy sauce, water, honey, cornstarch, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the marinade.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Stir to coat evenly.
Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken from the marinade to the skillet. Stir-fry until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3 minutes.
Cut the broccoli into small florets for quicker cooking.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from burning.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
