🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of ginger (minced), and 1 teaspoon of garlic (minced). Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. I swear, this little marinade makes a huge difference! This is where a typo can sneak in, maybe 'marinade' becomes 'marinate' – whoops!
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it's browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Don't overcrowd the pan or the chicken won't brown properly.
  3. Stir-fry the Vegetables: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the sliced carrots and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then, add the broccoli florets and cook until they turn bright green and are slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Cauliflower Rice: Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower rice is heated through and slightly tender. If you're using frozen cauliflower rice, make sure to squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the skillet to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  5. Prepare the Stir-fry Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce (2 tablespoons), honey (2 tablespoons), sesame oil (1 teaspoon), rice vinegar (1 teaspoon), cornstarch (1 teaspoon), and chicken broth (1/4 cup). Make sure there aren't any cornstarch clumps for a smooth sauce!
  6. Combine Everything: Pour the stir-fry sauce over the cauliflower rice and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Make sure the chicken is heated through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cauliflower rice chicken stir-fry with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately. This dish is great on its own, but you could also serve it with a side of steamed edamame or a simple salad.
  8. Enjoy! Take a bite and let the burst of flavors delight you. It's so good, you might even forget it's healthy...almost! One of my friends, Sarah, tried this and now makes it weekly. She says it's her go-to for quick, healthy dinners.

📝 Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stir-fry sauce.
  • If you don't have chicken broth, you can use water instead, but the flavor won't be as rich.
