Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry Ingredients
- 1 pound of small-pieced chicken thighs
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1/tsp. salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- Broccoli florets, 4 cups
- water, 1/3 cup
- Coconut aminos, 1/4 cup
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot starch
- For garnish, use green onions
- Sesame seeds for decoration
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chicken thighs, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil to medium-high. Once hot, cover the skillet with oil and afterward include the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through and browned in 6 to 8 minutes. Set the cooked chicken aside once it has been removed from the pan.
- Make the sauce while the chicken is cooking. In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot starch, fish sauce, sesame oil, and coconut aminos.
- The broccoli florets and 1/3 cups of water should then be added. In about 4-6 minutes, cook the broccoli until it is bright green and slightly tender.
- After that, return the chicken to the skillet and add the sauce. Give everything a good stir to combine the chicken, broccoli, and sauce, then cook for a further minute. As it heats, the sauce should slightly thicken.
- Eliminate the skillet from the intensity, get done with cut green onions and sesame seeds, and afterward serve the pan fried food right away. Enjoy!
