Ingredients
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 lb Ground Chicken (97/3)
- 1/4 cup (60g) Sweet Chili Sauce
- 2 tbsp (42g) Honey
- 2-3 tbsp (30-45g) Sriracha, to spice preference
- 2 tbsp (30g) Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp (16g) Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
Broccoli and Garnish
- 1 tbsp (16g) Olive Oil, divided
- 12 oz Broccoli Florets, cut into bite-size pieces
- Sesame Seeds, for garnish
- Green Onion, for garnish
Instructions
- Roast the Broccoli: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to brown one side. Stir and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli turns a dark green and is tender-crisp. Transfer the broccoli to a plate and set aside.
- Brown the Ground Chicken: Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the ground chicken and cook until both sides are browned. Use a spoon or spatula to mince and break apart the chicken as it cooks to ensure it is fully cooked through.
- Prepare and Add Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, mix together the sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger in a bowl. Pour this sauce into the fully cooked ground chicken, stirring to combine. Continue cooking the mixture until the sauce thickens, taking care to avoid burning.
- Combine and Garnish: Return the roasted broccoli to the skillet and stir well to coat everything evenly in the thickened sauce. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to manage the spice level to your preference.
- Use ground chicken with low fat content (97/3) to avoid excess grease in the pan.
- Toast the sesame seeds beforehand for extra nuttiness if desired.
- Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
