Notes
- Use different sources of protein instead of chicken like shrimp, lean beef, fish, tofu, and more.
- For gluten-free chicken and broccoli stir-fry, use coconut aminos or tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Instead of broccoli you can cook carrots, squash, zucchini, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, etc.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- For meal prep, prepare a batch of chicken and broccoli and portion out into individual storage containers to place in the refrigerator to last you for a few days. You can enjoy this recipe for an easy lunch or dinner that can be quickly reheated in the microwave.
- Be sure to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of at least 164 degrees Fahrenheit.
