Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
Sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Other
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
- Cook the broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 3–4 minutes until they are just tender but still crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Brown the chicken: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add ground chicken, season with salt and black pepper, and cook while breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add sauce and simmer: Pour the prepared honey sriracha sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Toss broccoli with chicken: Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss everything together so the chicken and broccoli are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top just before serving for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use tamari as a gluten-free soy sauce alternative if needed.
- Adjust sriracha and red pepper flakes to control the heat level.
- Fresh broccoli adds more crunch but frozen broccoli works fine when thawed.
- For a nuttier flavor, you can toast the sesame seeds before garnishing.
- Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
