Ground Chicken & Broccoli Stir Fry
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
