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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch in size, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve hot, and enjoy your low-carb chicken and broccoli dish!
