Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 2 tbsp canola oil divided
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
- 1/3 cup chicken broth or water
- 3 cups broccoli cut into 1-inch pieces
Stir Fry Sauce
- 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium recommended

- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Serving garnishes - optional

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, honey and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil followed by the chicken pieces.
- Fry the chicken pieces for 2 minutes until golden on one side. Flip the pieces to allow the other side to brown, about 2 minutes more.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 minutes until fragrant, and then add the broccoli and chicken broth.
- Cover the pan with a lid and allow to cook for 3 minutes until bright green and barely softened.
- Remove the lid and add the reserved sauce to the pan.
- Simmer for a minute until the sauce is thick enough to just coat the chicken.
- Remove from heat, garnish with optional green onions. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
-You can substitute chicken breasts in for chicken thighs for a lighter option, although chicken breasts are less juicy.
