Paleo Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry {Whole30, Keto}

This quick and tasty paleo chicken and broccoli stir fry uses clean simple ingredients and is so much healthier than takeout but just as fast! It’s family approved and great for weeknight dinners. I love serving it over fried cauliflower rice to keep it paleo, Whole30 compliant and low carb too.

Ingredients

Chicken:

Sauce:

Remaining Ingredients:

  • 1 large head broccoli cut into florets and blanched (you can do this in the microwave, see instructions.)
  • 4 scallions sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and minced

Instructions

  1. Have your ingredients prepped and ready to go before beginning since the stir fry will cook quickly.
  2. To blanch the broccoli florets in the microwave, place them in a large microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir and heat again for another minute or until they are slightly tender.
  3. Toss the sliced chicken with the arrowroot or tapioca, a little salt and pepper, the garlic and onion powder and the 1 tbsp coconut aminos. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until dissolved.
  4. Heat a large non stick skillet or wok over medium high heat and add the avocado or olive oil. Once hot, add the prepared chicken in a single layer. Sear for about 3 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 minutes or so or until cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  5. Keep the pan juices and oil in the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Add the white part of the scallions, garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant. Add the broccoli and chicken to the skillet, then the stir fry sauce and stir to coat well. The sauce should thicken right away so only cook long enough to combine flavors and heat through.
  6. Remove from heat and serve hot over cauliflower rice and garnish with the green part of the scallions. Enjoy!
