Spicy Honey Chicken With Broccoli Recipe (2024)

So good and super easy, perfect for the work week. I added ginger to the honey mixture, subbed asparagus for the broccoli, and served it over jasmin rice. Topped with sriracha and feta.

Not sure when the pan should be covered or uncovered - could this be added?

In step 4, it says to cover the skillet…the rest would be without.

We decided to add a bit more oil, honey, and jalapeño liquid in a bowl with the chicken to marinate for about an hour. This allowed for a more flavorful chicken that came out delicious! Served over roasted sweet potatoes and we just found a new favorite (and easy) weeknight meal.

swapped in tofu drained and torn into craggy bite sized pieces for the chicken. served over quinoa. super delicious and super healthy lunch that was ready in less time than the quinoa took to cook.

Tasty and easy! I did add garlic to the mixture and garnished with parsley. Also subbed maple syrup as I ran out of honey and it worked fine. Would serve over rice next time!

I used one pound of chicken or maybe a little less, grated two fat garlic cloves into the marinade, doubled the jalapeños, and squeezed half a lime over the pan as the broccoli and chicken were cooking. I added a bit more honey while cooking- maybe a teaspoon. I added the feta to the top after plating the dish in shallow bowls. It was fantastic! Will make again.

sounds delicious. I have some naan in the freezer, and I think this will make a beautiful filling for a wrap made with the naan.

I found this dry and without a lot of flavor, so it certainly didn't benefit from being over rice. I did like the jalapenos. It also needs to have more of a sauce before it hits the plate. I really wanted to like this as it is so simple, but alas, that was not to be.

I found this to be very plain. Subbed tofu for chicken. Ended up doubling the sauce and adding green garlic, red chili flakes and some grated ginger to enhance it a bit. No luck.

I think any pickled pepper will do so go with whatever you favor.

I forgot a few ingredients when grocery shopping, so had no pickled jalapenos on hand, and when I got home, I realized I had ground chicken instead of chicken thighs in the freezer. Nonetheless, this recipe was so tasty! I added white vinegar in with the honey in place of the jalapeno brine and seasoned with more vinegar and salt at the end. Tossed some green onions on top since I didn't have the garnish. I love the way it came together! Looking forward to making again with correct ingredients.

1. Minced garlic in the marinade. (The more the merrier.)2. One sliced fresh jalapeño in with the broccoli. 3. A tray of spicy microgreens lightly mixed in just before serving. And get the *hot* pickled jalapeños if that’s your thing. This version is a top five dish in our house.

With about 1.5 times the chicken and broccoli and 2 times the liquid (plus extra marinating time), I thought quite easy and tasty for a quick meal.

Great and quick!!

I found that heating a cast-iron skillet for two minutes, then cooking small pieces of boneless, skinless chicken undisturbed on medium-high heat for just four minutes (let alone the seven specified in the recipe) yielded a bunch of badly burned bird bits. Go easy on the heat.

Delicious and simple. Definitely add the garlic amd ginger. I used chicken breast deboned for a deeper flavour and sprinkled some chilli flakes and a naughty squeeze of lemon to serve over Bulgur wheat. X

I made this in the oven instead of on the stove top and was really pleased (seasoned the broccoli and chicken with oil, salt, and pepper. Roasted at 400 until the chicken reached 165). Since I wanted the broccoli to brown, I didn’t add the jalapeño juice to the pan. Instead, I blended it with some jalapeño slices and the feta to make a sauce for the dish. Will repeat this one for sure.

Loved this recipe. Super easy and simple. Next time, I will allow to chicken to soak in the honey mixture longer. Also adding more jalapeños and chopping them will add more uniform spice!

It's very bland and I even added garlic and other spices to the chicken. If bland chicken and veggies is your thing, this is a great recipe for you!

I made this dish with a couple of small modifications and my husband and I both enjoyed it. I added an additional tablespoon of the pickle juice and three cloves of garlic to the marinade, and let it all soak for an hour before cooking. I also left the lid on during cooking, to contain the moisture. After the meat was cooked through, I added another tablespoon of the pickle juice, and doubled the time allotted to cook the broccoli (about 8 minutes). The meat was juicy and had plenty of flavor.

4 min for cooking raw broccoli is insane.

Perfect weeknight meal. It took no time. I am in no way a chef or a cook. I am a mom who works full-time. I think it could use a little more salt and a smidge more honey and maybe even a bit more jalapeño to give it a little bit more flavor. I don’t tend to like things that are spicy but I do think this could use a little bit more flavor but I think it cooks perfectly and I think the whole family would Enjoy.

I made this and accidentally kept the thighs whole (vs slicing per the recipe). I found everything to be cooked well and it wasn’t dry at all -maybe that’s the key.

This was so flavourful and the perfect amount of spice for my mild palate - extra jalapeños when serving satiated my more spice-enthusiast dining partner. The chicken didn’t brown so I’ll have to troubleshoot next time. I served with roasted sweet potatoes.

I really wanted to love this, but it came out rather flavorless. If I were to make it again, I would definitely add ginger and garlic and marinate for at least a few hours. I would finish with a squeeze of lime and season this more aggressively.
