chicken in garlic sauce

another blog recipe: this was a really easy but delicious chicken recipe. i would have doubled or tripled it if i had known it was going to be so good--and if we'd had enough honey. but i'll be making it again for sure.

Prep time: 15 minutes (plus 2 hours refrigeration) Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1” chunks)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup water
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 head fresh broccoli (cut into florets)

Step 1: In a bowl combine garlic, soy sauce, water, honey, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, cornstarch, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well. Stir chicken into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 2: In a large wok or skillet, heat remaining tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. With a slotted spoon remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the wok or fry pan (reserve the marinade). Stir fry chicken for 3 minutes. Add broccoli and stir fry for an addition 2 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Step 3: Add the reserved marinade to the wok or fry pan and cook until thickened.
Yield: about 3 servings (but that's for Tommy and I. hahaha.)
