Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red capsicum, sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hot honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce and hot honey. Add the chicken thighs and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and season with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the chicken thighs in the pan for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the sliced onion and capsicum. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
5. Add the broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
6. Pour in the reserved marinade and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, coating them in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
