Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast
  • 6 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 Green Onions
  • 4 cups Cauliflower Rice

Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Sauté the Aromatics

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Cook the Chicken

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Add the Broccoli

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.

Make the Sauce

Pour the coconut aminos over the chicken and broccoli. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Serve

Serve the chicken and broccoli stir-fry immediately over cauliflower rice. Garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
