This recipe is low-calorie, very easy to prepare, and kid-friendly unless they have a carrot phobia like I did as a kid lol;) I remember sneaking my carrots underneath the table when no one was looking! Whenever we had something on our plates we didn't like my Mom always said we had to take at least two bites, and carrots was something I absolutely detested! I love carrots now though:)

Ingredients you will need:

• Avocado oil- for sautéing

• Chicken breast- cut into bite-sized pieces

• Broccoli- fresh or frozen

• Carrots- thinly sliced

• Garlic- minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce:

• Water- or chicken broth

• Soy sauce- base flavor

• Honey- for sweetness

• Cornstarch- thickening agent

First, you want to cook the broccoli and carrots with a teaspoon of avacado oil for 5 to 7 minutes until tender-crisp. They don't need to be too soft as they will be cooked again later on. Remove from heat and transfer veggies to a bowl, cover and set aside as you prepare the chicken.

Add 1 tbsp of avocado oil to the skillet and add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper and sauté over medium-high for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is no longer pink. Add in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant 1 to 2 minutes.

Return the veggies back into the pan with the chicken and turn the heat down to medium-low continue cooking as you prepare the sauce...

Mix together water, soy sauce, and honey. Add the cornstarch and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add sauce to the chicken and veggies and cook for another 5 minutes until sauce has thickened.
