Ingredients
- 2 large pieces Chicken breast
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced (optional for garnish) Green onions
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to help steam the broccoli.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil to create the sauce mixture.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir well to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with more soy sauce or a pinch of salt.
Step 10
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot on its own or with cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
