Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, flattened
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for honey-soy mixture)
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 tablespoons water (for honey-soy mixture)
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 12 broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil (plus more as needed)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, 3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and flattened garlic.
   • Stir the mixture until well combined and let it stand for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Prepare the Honey-Soy Mixture:

   • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cider vinegar, molasses, 2 tablespoons water, dry sherry, minced garlic, and cornstarch until smooth.
   • Set the mixture aside for later use.

3. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Rinse the chicken breast halves and pat them dry with paper towels.
   • Cut the chicken into strips measuring approximately 1 1/2×1/2 inches.
   • Add the chicken strips to the flour batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.

4. Fry the Chicken:

   • In a wok or 2-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches of cooking oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
   • Remove the chicken strips from the flour batter, allowing any excess batter to drain off.
   • Fry the chicken strips in the hot oil for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown.
   • Transfer the fried chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

5. Stir-Fry the Broccoli:

   • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry them for 4-5 minutes or until they are crisp-tender.
   • Once cooked, arrange the broccoli around the edge of a serving platter to keep warm.

6. Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce:

   • Stir the honey-soy mixture to ensure it is well combined.
   • Add the mixture to the skillet with the broccoli and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
   • Continue to cook and stir the sauce for an additional minute.

7. Combine Chicken and Sauce:

   • Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet with the sauce.
   • Heat the chicken and sauce together until thoroughly warmed.

8. Serve:

   • Transfer the chicken and sauce to the center of the broccoli-lined serving platter.
   • Serve the Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry immediately, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or over a bed of rice or noodles.
