Tips for Honey Glazed Chinese Chicken with Broccoli

  • Look for broccoli that is bright green and still slightly firm; very soft florets can turn mushy in the oven.
  • Use a shallow oven-safe dish so the egg sets evenly around the chicken and broccoli.
  • The egg should look fully set, with no liquid pooling in the center, before serving.

Drink pairing

A dry, lightly oaked Chardonnay
Its rounded texture complements the buttery chicken and egg while its freshness balances the honey glaze.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is done?
Cut into the thickest part: it should be opaque throughout, with no pink center.

Can I make this ahead?
You can chop the broccoli and portion the other ingredients ahead, but assemble and bake close to serving so the egg sets neatly.

What should I serve with it?
Serve on its own for a simple meal, or add steamed rice if you want a more filling side.
