Ground Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, mince the garlic and ginger, and slice the green onions. Having everything ready before cooking makes the process fast and seamless.
  2. Heat 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, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Push the chicken to the side of the pan and add the garlic, ginger, and broccoli. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the broccoli to brighten in color but still maintain a bit of crunch.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. Stir everything together to coat the chicken and broccoli evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld.
  5. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
