Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, whisking until smooth. Then, mix in 3 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of mirin, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 tablespoon of sriracha. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of onion powder to enhance flavors. Set aside the sauce while you prepare the stir-fry.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add 2 cups of broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. You want it slightly undercooked since it will cook further in the next steps. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add 1 pound of ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is about 70-80% cooked, stirring frequently. The chicken should still be slightly pink; it will finish cooking once the sauce is added.
  4. Lower the heat back to medium and fold in the cooked broccoli, adding ¼ cup of chopped green onions as well. Sauté for 1 minute to combine flavors. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and broccoli mixture, ensuring everything is coated. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to break down larger chicken chunks while the sauce thickens nicely.
  5. Add 1 cup of frozen peas to the skillet, stirring them into the mixture. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has reached your desired thickness. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are well-coated in the flavorful sauce.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and taste the Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli for seasoning. Serve it hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or in crisp lettuce cups for a fresh approach. Garnish with additional green onions and sesame seeds for a delightful finishing touch. Enjoy a meal that combines extraordinary flavors and healthy ingredients!
