Chicken & Broccoli Bowls: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe for 4


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 3 cups broccoli florets
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 1 tablespoon minced ginger
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
– Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
– Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Chicken & Broccoli Bowls can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Cut broccoli into small florets.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add diced chicken to the heated skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add Broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry with the chicken for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
6. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and cornstarch (if using). This thickens the sauce while adding sweetness and flavor.
7. Combine Sauce: Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli mixture in the skillet. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
9. Serve Over Base: Spoon the chicken and broccoli mixture over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa.
10. Garnish: Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an additional pop of flavor and color.

These steps will guide you in creating an incredible bowl that is both nutritious and delicious!
