Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch in size, and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the broccoli in the skillet.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve hot, and enjoy your low-carb chicken and broccoli dish!
