Prepare this healthy Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry in less than 30 minutes and enjoy an easy chicken dinner even on busy weeknights! Serve it over rice or choose cauliflower rice for a low carb meal! It's Monday and it’s time for another reveal day for the Secret Recipe Club!Each month, a blogger is secretly assigned another blogger and chooses a recipe to make.
On reveal day (todayfor my group!), all our posts go up at the same time and we discover who was assigned our blog and which recipe she decided to try. Fun!
This month, I was assigned A Taste of Madness, run by the lovely Cathleen!
Cathleen is a Canadian living in Toronto, math teacher by day and bakerextraordinaire by night.
Can I admit that I really hated math at school? I was just so bad at it! Cathleen, if you have students like me in your class...I am sorry! haha.
Now, A Taste of Madness is mostly a baking blog, with every sweet treatyou could dream of (cookies, pies, tarts, and otherdelights) but this chicken and broccoli stir-fry caught my eye instantly.
You know me, I love quick and easy chicken recipes.
The original recipe actually calls for broccoli + snow peas but for some reasons, snow peas were nowhere to be found theday I was grocery shopping. So this chicken and broccoli stir-fry is just that - chicken and broccoli!
Would you believe that I had this healthy and nourishing chicken dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes (25 to be precise!)?
How awesome is that? Thanks, Cathleen for this chicken and broccoli stir-fry recipe!
You can make this Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry paleo by using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch.
Make this a low carb chicken dinner by omitting the honey and serving it with cauliflower rice instead of rice. Please note that broccoli is naturally high in carbs.
