Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 chicken breasts, sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
  2. Cook the chicken: Add sliced chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through.
  3. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, enhancing the flavor of the dish.
  4. Deglaze and season: Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, stirring well to combine and deglaze the pan, releasing any flavorful bits stuck to the skillet.
  5. Steam the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets, cover the skillet with a lid, and steam for 5–7 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
  6. Season to taste: Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  7. Serve: Serve the garlic chicken and broccoli hot, either on its own or over a bed of rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Adjust cooking times if broccoli florets are larger or smaller to avoid under or overcooking.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to control salt content if desired.
  • Can be customized by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
