Chicken and Broccoli salad


  • Author: Dulcia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
2 heads broccoli, florets removed (7 cups/465 grams)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup coconut aminos
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: sesame seeds, green onions
For serving: white rice, cauliflower rice


Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the broth, coconut aminos, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened and reduced by two-thirds.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat the avocado oil. Add chicken and cook for 30-60 seconds per side, in batches, without overcrowding.
Add broccoli to the pan with chicken juices and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Add a splash of broth if needed.
Return chicken to the pan, add the reduced sauce, and mix well. Cook until everything is heated through and coated with the sauce.
Serve topped with sesame seeds and green onions alongside rice of your choice.
