Tender chicken breast pieces are cooked with fresh broccoli florets in a savory garlic sauce, all in one pan for easy cleanup. It’s a quick and nutritious dish that the whole family will love.

 

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

– 2 cups broccoli florets

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

– 1 tablespoon soy sauce

– 1 teaspoon cornstarch

– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

– Optional: cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 3–4 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic, and ground ginger.

5. Return the chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli, stirring to combine.

6. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.

7. Serve hot, over cooked rice or noodles if desired.

 

Notes

– For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.

– Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

– This dish pairs well with brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
