I'm getting excited for September 5th!
I made this a few months ago when I wasn't even thinking about Whole30 ... and it was so dang good that even Hubby was asking me to make it again, soon!
Hmmm ... maybe I can bring him along in September for the full ride?
Uhm, well, maybe not ... but hey ... it's worth a try. In the meantime, this is one dish that all of us will be eating when I make it!
2 pounds of chicken thighs, cut in to bite size pieces (ALDI)
1 large head of broccoli, cut in to bite size pieces (ALDI, I used 4 small heads)
3 tbs sesame oil (forever in the pantry)
2 tbs ginger ... I'm not a fan but I used this stuff (Publix b1g1f)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2/3 c coconut aminos (soy sauce alternative to avoid soy, grains, etc.) (Whole Foods!)
1 tbs arrowroot powder (or corn starch) to thicken (Amazon)
Riced cauliflower (Trader Joes!) or zucchini noodles, if desired
See, not a whole lot of stuff ;-) AND ... it only took 30 minutes of cooking time so get chopping in the morning before you head out to work!
Let's hop to it!
Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil, ginger, coconut aminos, salt, garlic powder and them pepper flakes. Add the chicken in and give a quick shake to coat a bit. Cook til chicken is about half cooked through.*
Add the broccoli, shake the pan a bit, turn up the heat and put a lid on the pan. I used a lid that sat just inside the pan as I didn't want it 100% covered. Lift lid and give a stir every few minutes to get the broccoli coated a bit.
Once the broccoli has started to get soft, if desired, add a sprinkle of arrowroot powder over the mixture and stir with a large spoon. This will help it thicken a little.
Serve over zucchini noodles OR riced cauliflower.
I always make it a point to pack up my lunch for the next day immediately when something is this tasty! Otherwise it could all be gone which would make me very sad the next morning!
Enjoy!

*So for the record: I followed the original recipe from the start and was sorry as soon as I added the chicken in. The chicken NEEDS to cook first other wise you will have raw chicken on top of quickly dying broccoli. I ended up scooping the sad broccoli out in to a bowl while the chicken cooked, adding it back at the end with more raw broccoli so I wouldn't have sad broccoli throughout.

Looks delicious! I love chicken and broccoli! Thanks for sharing this. Have a wonderful weekend and may God bless you and yours!
