Equipment

  • large pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil divided use
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced peeled carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth or water
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add the broccoli and carrots and cook for approximately 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Remove the vegetables from the pan; place them on a plate and cover.
  • Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
  • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the pan in a single layer - you may need to do this step in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the vegetables back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until the vegetables are warmed through.
  • In a bowl whisk together the chicken broth, honey and soy sauce.
  • In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water.
  • Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables; cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the cornstarch and bring to a boil; cook for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken.
  • Serve immediately, with rice if desired.

Notes

Cut your vegetables into similar sized pieces so that they'll cook evenly. Slice the carrots very thin so that they cook quickly. I recommend using low sodium chicken broth to help control the salt content of the dish. You can also use low sodium soy sauce if you prefer.
