  • 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.
