Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken tenders, cubed
  • 1 Tbsp. Light Olive Oil
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 1 Broccoli Crown broken into florets
  • 1 tsp. Toasted Sesame Seeds optional, garnish
  • 2 Tbsp. Green onion sliced, optional, garnish

Teriyaki Sauce Mix

  • ¾ c. Teriyaki Sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tsp. Chili Flakes
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. Vegetable or Sesame Oil
  • ½ tsp. Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp. Ginger Powder or grated ginger

Instructions

  • To begin, chop the chicken into 1 inch cubes. Then cut the broccoli crown into mini florets. Set aside.
  • Heat a 12 inch skillet with 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the chicken has cooked to a golden color and add the teriyaki sauce and mix together to cook for another minute or so.
  • Add the broccoli florets and mix together one more time. Cover and cook on low heat for 2-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seed and sliced green onion for garnish.

Notes

  • Prep your ingredients in advance as things will move quick when you start cooking.
  • Use a large skillet, pan or wok.
  • Cut your chicken into similar sizes, so they cook evenly. Same thing with the broccoli.
  • To adjust the heat simply increase or decrease the chili flakes.
  • I've used chicken tenders but you can also go for chicken breast, just make sure to trim any excess fat. You can also use chicken thighs.
  • Cook the chicken until it obtains a nice golden color.
  • You can use fry or freshly grated ginger. Ideally go for fresh ginger as it packs more flavor. Grate peeled ginger with a fine grater or zester.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
  • You can also swap the chicken for shrimp - also delicious!
