Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Chili-garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sesame oil. Toss in the minced garlic and red chili flakes, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and pour in 3 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Stir in the chili-garlic sauce and soy sauce, mixing to coat the broccoli evenly.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring everything together until the chicken is reheated and coated in the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You may add additional chili-garlic sauce for extra heat.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy this low-carb delight!
