Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Set aside.
Cut each chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Cover the skillet and let the broccoli steam for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and add the cooked chicken back to the skillet.
Pour in the coconut aminos, and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve hot, dividing the chicken and broccoli evenly among plates.
