1 clove
Broccoli florets
4 ounces

Directions
1
Add olive oil to a frying pan and place over medium heat. Sear chicken on both sides for 2-3 minutes (less if it’s a thin breast). Remove from pan and set on a plate.
2
Add honey, soy sauce, garlic and a splash of olive oil to the pan. Bring the ingredients to a simmer, then add the chicken back in and continue cooking on low medium until chicken is fully cooked (165º if using a meat thermometer) and glaze is thickened and shiny.
3
Steam broccoli and cauliflower florets together in a steamer basket for 8 to 10 minutes over a pot of simmering water. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Slice the glazed chicken breast and serve with veggies on the side.

To batch cook: Scale up the recipe and make as much as you like; fully prepared chicken and veggies will last 4 to 5 days kept in fridge. Reheat fully before eating.
