Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
Vegetables:
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 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)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat a spacious skillet to medium temperature and introduce ground chicken, using a spatula to crumble and brown the meat thoroughly while eliminating any accumulated liquid.
- Infuse the skillet with minced garlic and grated ginger, allowing their aromatic essence to bloom for approximately 60 seconds.
- Incorporate fresh broccoli florets into the meat mixture, sautéing until they transition to a vibrant green and develop a slight tenderness.
- Create a flavor-packed sauce by whisking together soy sauce, golden honey, fiery sriracha, tangy rice vinegar, and nutty sesame oil in a separate container, then blend in cornstarch to develop a silky consistency.
- Cascade the prepared sauce over the chicken and broccoli, gently stirring to ensure every morsel is generously coated and allowing the mixture to simmer until the sauce transforms into a glossy, thickened glaze.
- Once the sauce reaches the ideal consistency, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for a fresh, crisp finish.
- Serve the aromatic mixture atop fluffy rice or low-carb cauliflower rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Experiment with protein alternatives like tofu or turkey for different dietary needs and flavor variations.
- Adjust sriracha quantity to control spice level, making the dish milder for sensitive palates or bolder for heat lovers.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content and make the recipe more heart-healthy.
- Choose fresh broccoli with vibrant green color and firm stalks to ensure maximum nutritional value and optimal texture in the final dish.
