Description

A quick and delicious stir-fry packed with flavor and healthy ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Boneless Chicken Breasts (diced into bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets (crisp and vibrant)
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Pepper
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Honey

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.

  6. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

Customize the recipe by adding other proteins like shrimp or tofu, or swap broccoli for asparagus or green beans for different flavors.
