Honey-glazed chicken and broccoli stir-fry is a popular dish for quick dinners. Here, tender chicken pieces are stir-fried with broccoli florets, then coated in a luscious honey-garlic sauce that's perfectly balanced between sweet and salty. Enjoy it as is, or with an appetising side, like fried rice.

Cook the chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, then stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through and golden on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Stir-fry the vegetables
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add broccoli florets and carrots, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli brightens but remains crisp. Add bell peppers and cook for another minute. The vegetables should be tender but crisp, not mushy.

Combine and glaze
Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. Give the sauce a quick whisk to ensure the cornstarch hasn't settled, then pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and creates a glossy coating on the chicken and vegetables.
