Ingredients
(The main ingredients can be included in your Wholesome Farms box!)
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 , 8oz pack of broccoli florets (about 2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon avocado or neutral oil
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste – sweet, spicy, and savory)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
- Sesame seeds & scallions, for garnish (optional)
How to Make It
Step 1: Make the sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, gochujang, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the chicken.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then add chicken in a single layer. Let it brown undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Step 3: Add the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
Step 4: Steam or sauté the broccoli.
Meanwhile, steam broccoli in a separate pan or microwave until just tender (about 2–3 minutes). You can also stir-fry it with a bit of oil for added flavor.
Step 5: Serve.
Serve chicken and broccoli over rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions if desired.
