Add water to a large pot with a tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the linguine pasta and cook for 6-7 minutes. Then add the frozen broccoli to the pot with the noodles and continue cooking for another 3 minutes. Drain and set the noodles and broccoli aside.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha (or cayenne pepper if using). Stir until well mixed and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, minced garlic, ginger, and season with a few shakes of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and is cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat.

Stir the sauce mixture again to make sure everything is well mixed. Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, and sauce to the skillet with the chicken. Stir until all the pasta is coated with sauce and everything is evenly incorporated.
