- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Set aside.

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Slice the green onions thinly.
Step 3
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.

Step 6
Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the broccoli florets to the pan, stirring well to coat with the ginger and garlic mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the pan with the broccoli. Pour in the coconut aminos and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, tossing everything together to combine.
