A quick, sticky, and savory stir-fry using fresh chicken and broccoli served over fluffy basmati rice.

This Honey Garlic Chicken & Broccoli Stir-Fry is the ultimate answer to the busy weeknight dinner dilemma. Bursting with savory and sweet flavors, this dish transforms simple pantry staples like honey, soy sauce, and garlic into a glossy, sticky glaze that coats every tender piece of chicken. The star of the show is the combination of lean protein and fresh vegetables, making it a wholesome choice that doesn't sacrifice taste. Unlike takeout options that can be heavy and greasy, this homemade stir-fry allows you to control the ingredients, ensuring a meal that is both nutritious and satisfying. The magic happens when the chicken breast is seared to golden perfection, locking in juices before being tossed with vibrant, crisp-tender broccoli florets. The sauce—a perfectly balanced emulsion of salty soy and floral honey—thickens rapidly in the pan, creating that crave-worthy coating that clings to fluffy basmati rice. Whether you are cooking for a family or meal-prepping for the week, this Honey Garlic Chicken recipe delivers high-impact flavor in under 30 minutes. It is a fantastic way to utilize fresh produce before it spoils, turning your kitchen ingredients into a restaurant-quality experience right at home.

Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken Breast
  • 300 g Broccoli
  • 300 g Basmati Rice
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 80 ml Soy Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 medium Onions
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly and cook according to package instructions.
  2. 2
    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Chop the broccoli into florets and dice the onions. Mince the garlic.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
  4. 4
    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and season with a pinch of sea salt. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken breast from the pan and set aside.
  5. 5
    In the same pan, add the onions and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. You can add a splash of water to help steam them if needed.
  6. 6
    Add the cooked chicken breast back into the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce mixture over everything.
  7. 7
    Toss everything together and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken breast and broccoli.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately over a bed of fluffy basmati rice.

Chef's Tips

  • For extra spice, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli; it should still have a snap to it.
  • If the sauce is too thin, let it bubble a bit longer to reduce.
