Ingredients
Chicken and Broccoli Dinner
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 12 to 18 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts chopped into large bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
- 1/2 cup celery sliced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sauce
1/4 cup coconut aminos optional tamari or lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable Sriracha
Instructions
Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside. Add broccoli florets and lightly sauté until slightly tender. Remove broccoli and set aside.
Add the onion and celery to the skillet and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until the celery has softened, and the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the broth (or water), chicken, and broccoli back to the skillet along with the salt and pepper. Cook ingredients for about 5 more minutes, until chicken is heated through.
For sauce, whisk together ingredients and add to the pan for the last minute of cooking time. Serve and enjoy!
Making healthy meals that are full-flavored and taste better than the high-calorie alternative. Because why should you opt for high-sodium, fat-filled take-out when you can make a better meal at home for just about the same effort? The answer is, you shouldn’t! You’ll feel great after eating a meal like this healthy chicken and broccoli skillet recipe.
