Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine all Sauce ingredients and whisk until mixed well.
For more flavor, marinate the cubed chicken in a ziplock bag with the sauce for 30 minutes in the fridge if time allows.
Heat a stir-fry wok or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil.
Add the broccoli florets to the hot oil and sauté for 4–6 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the chicken pieces (without sauce) in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary.
Let the chicken sear without stirring for 1 minute, then cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Add the sauce and cook until it coats the chicken, about 7-8 minutes.
Return the broccoli to the pan and stir until everything is heated through and well coated in the sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, marinate the chicken for longer if you can.
Keep a close eye on the broccoli to avoid overcooking and losing its bright color and crunch.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for variety.
