  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 7 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • Olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, broth, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. In another jar, combine 2 tablespoons of broth with tapioca flour to create a slurry.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 30-60 seconds per side). Remove from pan.
  3. Sauté Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli with some salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from pan.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Lower heat to medium-low; add the sauce mixture along with the slurry to the skillet. Stir until thickened (3-5 minutes).
  5. Combine: Return the chicken and broccoli to the skillet; stir well to combine and heat through for about 1 minute.
  6. Serve: Garnish with optional sesame seeds or chopped green onions and serve alongside white rice or cauliflower rice.
