Rather than calling for takeout, make this flavorful sesame chicken at home in 15 minutes. It’s a huge dinnertime win on busy weeknights. You probably have almost all of the ingredients on hand, too. Double win. Chicken and broccoli simmer in a sauce bursting with Asian flavors including honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. The chicken stays tender, juicy, and moist. Crisp-tender broccoli florets are the perfect little sponges to soak in all that delish sauce. This dish is great with rice served alongside and any extra sauce is perfect for spooning over rice.
