In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
05 -
Combine cornstarch and water in another small bowl and mix until smooth.

Return the chicken to the pan with the broccoli. Pour the sauce mixture over and stir to coat evenly.

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish and serve hot over cooked rice.
