Ingredients
- Protein: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces.
- Aromatics: 4 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced.
- Seasonings: 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for heat).
- Cooking Fat: 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or another high-heat oil like refined coconut oil).
- Vegetable: 4 cups fresh broccoli florets.
- Sauce Base: ⅓ cup water, ¼ cup coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon fish sauce (ensure it’s a halal/certified vegetarian fish sauce if needed), 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil.
- Thickener: ½ tablespoon arrowroot starch (or cornstarch).
- Garnish: Sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Instructions
- Add the chicken thighs, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to a small bowl and stir until well combined.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, coat the pan with oil and then add in the chicken. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from pan and set aside.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. Add the coconut aminos, fish sauce, sesame oil and arrowroot starch to a small bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Next, add in the broccoli florets and ⅓ cup of water. Cook the broccoli until it is bright green and slightly tender, around 4-6 minutes.
- Next, add the chicken back to the skillet and then add the sauce. Give everything a stir to combine chicken, broccoli, and sauce are all well combined and cook for one more minute. The sauce should thicken a bit as it heats.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, finish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and then serve the stir-fry immediately. Enjoy!
