Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  • Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish. Coat each chicken piece in cornstarch, shaking off excess.
  • Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  • Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the chicken pieces.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  • While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
  • Steam 1 cup broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • When the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and brush the honey garlic sauce over each piece.
  • Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  • Warm 1/2 cup cooked brown rice.
  • Serve the baked honey garlic chicken bites with the steamed broccoli and brown rice.
