Description
A quick and nutritious stir fry combining ground chicken and broccoli, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 3 cups broccoli florets (bite-sized)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Push the chicken to the side and add garlic, ginger, and broccoli. Stir fry together for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright and slightly crunchy.
- Pour in soy sauce and drizzle with sesame oil, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes for flavors to blend.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle with green onions and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a leaner option, substitute turkey for ground chicken. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables for extra nutrition.
