Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Note: Moisture on the surface prevents browning.
  2. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add chicken and sear for 3-5 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
  5. Push the chicken to one side of the pan.
  6. Add broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water, then cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green.
  7. While broccoli steams, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  8. Remove the lid and pour the glaze over the chicken and broccoli.
  9. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and thickens to coat everything.
