Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 7 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons chicken broth (plus more for cooking if desired)
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, green onions, cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients: coconut aminos, chicken broth, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  2. In another bowl, mix tapioca flour with 2 tablespoons of broth to create a slurry; set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook sliced chicken in batches until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté broccoli with salt and pepper until tender-crisp; add more broth if needed.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low, then pour the stir fry sauce mixture and slurry into the pan. Whisk until thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Return chicken and broccoli to the skillet; stir to combine and heat through for about 1 minute.
  7. Serve topped with optional sesame seeds and green onions alongside white rice or cauliflower rice.
