Description

This Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli recipe is a quick and flavorful dish perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground chicken
2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or thawed)
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
3 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup honey
3 tbsp sriracha sauce
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Sesame seeds & sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Start by preparing the sauce that will bring this dish together. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, sriracha sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil (if using). Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and set it aside for later.
Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the broccoli florets to the pan. Allow them to sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until they become tender but still maintain a bright green color. After what is essentially a quick sauté, remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside for now.
In that same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Then add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with your spatula. Season it with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the chicken for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, it’s time to add flavor! Toss in the minced garlic and stir it into the chicken, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, pour the prepared honey-sriracha sauce into the skillet. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken is well coated, and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Finally, add the sautéed broccoli back into the skillet. Toss the broccoli and chicken together so that everything is evenly coated in the wonderful sauce. Cook for another minute or two, just to allow the flavors to meld and the broccoli to reheat.

Notes

Be sure to keep an eye on the cooking time to avoid overcooking the chicken or broccoli. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
