📝 Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken
• 8 oz fresh broccoli s (cut into bite-sized piece)
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Trim chicken thighs of excess fat and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces (about the same size as the chicken pieces).
2. 2Steam or sauté the broccoli to the softness just a bit firmer than you prefer & set aside.
3. 3In a large bowl, whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two thirds of the garlic, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
4. 4Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
5. 5Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once oil is hot, add chicken in a single layer. Cook chicken until browned, mixing as needed. Once cooked, remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
6. 6In the same skillet, add the remaining oil, garlic, pepper, mushrooms and onion. Cook until vegetables are crisp tender, mixing frequently.
7. 7Add the cooked broccoli and stir in the sauce and simmer for an additional minute or two until thickened. Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed.
8. 8Stir in the chicken to warm through before serving.
