Ingredients:

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken with salt, pepper, and cornstarch (if using) to coat the chicken evenly.

  4. Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet, returning the cooked chicken to the pan as well.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and honey or brown sugar together until fully combined. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetable stir fry, stirring continuously until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
