Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 10 oz boneless skinless chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
  2. Step 2: Remove chicken, then add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender.
  3. Step 3: Return chicken to skillet, pour in 2 tbsp coconut aminos, and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute more until heated through. Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.
