Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups broccoli florets (cut into small florets)
1 large bell pepper (seeded and sliced into thin strips)
salt
black pepper (freshly ground)
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tbsp water

Equipment

large skillet or wok
cutting board
chef's knife
mixing bowl
wooden spoon or spatula

Steps

1

Make the Sauce
prep 3 min

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, cornstarch, and water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. Set the sauce aside near the stove so it is ready to add quickly during cooking.
2

Season the Chicken
prep 2 min

Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel, then season lightly with salt and black pepper. Drying the chicken helps it sear rather than steam, giving the bites better color and texture in the pan.
3

Sear the Chicken
cook 7 min

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
4

Stir-Fry the Vegetables
cook 4 min

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same skillet over high heat. Add the broccoli florets and bell pepper strips and stir-fry, tossing frequently, for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and have slight charring on the edges. Season lightly with salt and red pepper flakes if using.
5

Combine and Glaze
cook 2 min

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the sauce over everything. Toss and stir constantly over high heat for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze that coats all the chicken and vegetables. Remove from heat immediately once the sauce has thickened to avoid burning the honey.

Divide the honey garlic chicken stir-fry bites evenly among four plates or bowls, spooning any extra glaze from the pan over the top. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
