Instructions
Instructions
In a medium bowl whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch until smooth. Whisk in the chicken broth, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Pat the chicken cubes dry with paper towels. Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, turning once halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 6–7 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the white and light-green portions of the chopped green onions, the minced ginger and the minced garlic; sauté, stirring, about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and the 3 Tbsp water to the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 4–5 minutes.
Stir the reserved soy sauce mixture again, then pour it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 1–2 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Toss everything together until the chicken is heated through and coated in the sauce, about 1 minute.
Serve the stir-fry over cooked white or brown rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
