General Tso's Chicken

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, add chicken and ¼ cup cornstarch. Season with salt and pepper and shake to coat.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice with remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch until combined. Add to skillet and simmer until slightly thickened, 1 minute.

Step 5

To sauce, add broccoli and cook until tender, 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and stir to coat. Simmer for 1 more minute.
