Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts thinly into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth, stirring well to combine.

Step 7

If using xanthan gum for a thicker sauce, sprinkle it evenly over the contents in the skillet, stirring quickly to avoid lumps.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve hot, either on its own or over a low-carb side like cauliflower rice.
