Honey Garlic Chicken & Broccoli is one of those dishes that is quick and easy to make and so, so delicious. It only takes minutes for you to prepare this dish and have it on your dinner table.
I actually thought of making this dish because I had leftover broccoli from a veggie platter and hated for it to go to waste. I first thought of making a type of stir fry but I wanted to make something that would be even quicker to prepare so Voila! Honey Garlic Chicken & Broccoli is the perfect dish. Not only is it so easy but the flavor is perfect.
I have not always been a fan of rice wine vinegar because I think it’s quite pungent but it really works with this sauce and the honey brings it all together.
Of course, I think rice is the perfect side to go with Honey Garlic Chicken & Broccoli and my Coconut Rice would be even better. It is so creamy and would add a next level of flavor. Go to Lifewithmamafawn.com to my Polynesian Chicken & Coconut Rice for the recipe.
If you are looking for the perfect recipe for a quick meal, give this one a try. I believe you will not be disappointed.
Mama Fawn’s Tips…

- Beef or Pork would be a perfect substitute if you want something different.
- Have all the ingredients ready to go, this dish really goes fast.
- Feel free to substitute any fresh veggie that you would like.
