Honey garlic chicken with broccoli over rice

About this recipe

Honey and garlic cook down into a glossy pan sauce that clings to the chicken. Broccoli and rice make it a full plate.

Pull the chicken when it is just cooked. The sauce needs a minute to thicken, and overcooked strips turn tough before the glaze is ready.

Have the rice warm and ready so you can sauce and serve right away.
