The bottled stuff is mostly sugar. This sauce is soy, honey, vinegar, garlic, and ginger, thickened right in the pan until it coats everything. The broccoli steams under the lid in the same skillet.

Ingredients

Sauce

Gear

  • large skillet with a lid

Method

Tap a step to mark where you are. Tap a time to start a timer.

  1. Sauce

    Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a cup or small bowl.

  2. Chicken

    Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken in one layer and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through.

  3. Broccoli

    Add the broccoli and the 1/4 cup water, cover, and steam until bright green and just tender.

  4. Glaze

    Stir the sauce again (the cornstarch settles), pour it in, and stir until it bubbles and turns thick and glossy.

  5. Serve

    Spoon over rice and top with green onions.

Notes

  • tipLow-sodium soy sauce keeps it from getting too salty as the sauce reduces.
  • tipFrozen broccoli works; add it straight from frozen and steam a minute or two longer.
