Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs Chicken Breast about 3 chicken breasts - cubed
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 8 oz Can of Water Chestnuts*
  • 3/4 cup Coconut Aminos
  • 1/4 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 Tbls Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger grated
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Tbls Arrowroot (optional) or xanthan gum - see notes

Instructions

  • The first step is to make the stir-fry sauce so that it is ready when you need it. So we add the coconut aminos, chicken broth ,rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes to a measuring glass and whisk to combine. Set aside for later
  • Then we season the cubed chicken with salt and pepper and brown in a large skillet with the sesame oil. This adds both flavor and texture to the chicken. Once browned and cooked through (165' internal temp) remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add more oil to the skillet and toss in the broccoli florets. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they get a little color and then pour in the stir-fry sauce and water chestnuts. Let cook for another 3-4 minutes and stir in the chicken. Cook just until broccoli is tender but not mushy.
  • If you want to thicken the sauce, you can make a slurry of arrowroot and room temp water and add to the sauce - let simmer until thickened (1-2 minutes) Use xanthan gum for keto. 1 Tbls arrowroot to 1 Tbls room temp water or 1 tsp xanthan gum to 1 tsp room temp water
