Chicken and broccoli stir-fry over rice in a bowl

About this recipe

Hot pan, short sauce, dinner in about half an hour. The broccoli should stay bright with a little snap, and the honey-soy glaze should coat the chicken without going sticky-sweet.

Mix the sauce before the chicken hits the pan. Stir-fries move fast once the skillet is hot.

Cut the florets to a similar size so they cook evenly.
