Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 to 18 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts chopped into large bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery sliced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos (optional tamari or lite soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable Sriracha

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Garlic press

Method
 

  1. Begin by placing your large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and allow it to warm up for about a minute.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped chicken breasts to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. After the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic, chopped yellow onion, and sliced celery to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  4. Next, add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth or water to help steam the broccoli. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender.
  5. Once the broccoli is cooked, remove the lid and stir in the coconut aminos and vegetable Sriracha. Mix everything well and let it cook for another minute to combine the flavors.
  6. Your One-Skillet Chicken and Broccoli Dinner is ready! Serve it hot, and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors.

Notes

  • Adjust the Sriracha for a spicier dish.
