For Cooking:
1 Tbsp (16g) Olive Oil, divided
12 oz Broccoli Florets, cut into bite-size pieces
1 lb Ground Chicken (97/3)
For the Sauce:
1/4 C (60g) Sweet Chili Sauce
2 Tbsp (42g) Honey
2–3 Tbsp (30-45g) Sriracha, to taste
2 Tbsp (30g) Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp (16g) Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Ground Ginger
Optional Garnish:
Sesame Seeds
Green Onion
Cook the Broccoli:
Heat 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and leave untouched for 1-2 minutes to develop browning on one side. Stir and continue cooking until the broccoli turns dark green, about 3-4 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Brown the ground chicken on both sides, then mince and fully cook.
Prepare the Sauce:
While the chicken cooks, mix the sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger together in a bowl.
Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the sauce into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens. Be careful not to burn the sauce.
Combine with Broccoli:
Add the cooked broccoli back to the skillet and stir to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
Serve:
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion before serving.
