Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the ground chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess liquid to keep the dish from becoming too watery.
- Sauté aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, enhancing the flavor of the dish.
- Add broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing them to become slightly tender but still crisp.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and whisk well to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Combine sauce and cook: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and broccoli in the skillet. Stir continuously to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings nicely to the ingredients.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve this delight over rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- For a low-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or lean ground pork.
- Make sure to drain excess liquid after browning the chicken to avoid a watery dish.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to keep the sodium content moderate.
