Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your Chicken & Broccoli Bowls:
1. Prepare Rice/Quinoa: If you haven’t done so already, cook your brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.
2. Prep Chicken: In a large bowl, add the diced chicken breasts. Sprinkle with garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Add Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and cornstarch mixed with a splash of water. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
7. Prepare Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice or quinoa as the base. Add a generous scoop of the chicken and broccoli mixture on top.
