  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar acid
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced

  • Small Saucepan

Method
 

Main Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  3. Arrange the cubed chicken and broccoli florets on the baking sheet, drizzling them with olive oil and tossing gently to coat.
  4. Pour half of your prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli, tossing again to ensure every piece is covered.
  5. Spread the ingredients into a single layer and bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes.
  6. While roasting, simmer the remaining sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking in the cornstarch slurry until it thickens.
  7. Take the pan out of the oven and drizzle the thickened glaze over the chicken and broccoli, tossing to coat thoroughly.
  8. Return the tray to the oven for a final 5 to 8 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F and the broccoli is tender.
  9. Serve your meal over fluffy rice or noodles, finishing with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for crunch.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For the best texture when reheating, use a skillet over medium heat to maintain the crispness of the broccoli and the glossiness of the honey garlic sauce. If you prefer a more charred vegetable, you can broil the tray for the final two minutes of cooking.
