Do you need a fast, healthy meal that matches your paleo diet? This chicken and broccoli stir-fry fits. Cooked in iron, it makes a combination of chicken and green broccoli along with a good sauce in less than half an hour.

The dish saves time during the week, especially if you want food that is healthy but tasty. With paleo foods, you eat a meal good for you and rich in flavor. But the use of iron helps keep warmth besides giving the stir-fry a fine sear.

Quick Paleo Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

The paleo chicken and broccoli stir-fry combines pieces of chicken and hard broccoli. Everything gets a coating in a sauce that combines savory and sweet tastes. Light yet filling, the dish is good for a busy day.

Ingredients:

One pound chicken breast, cut small

Two cups broccoli pieces

Two spoons coconut or avocado oil

Three garlic pieces, crushed

One spoon fresh ginger, crushed

Three spoons coconut aminos

One spoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper as needed

Sesame seeds to add at the end (if wanted)

Cut green onions to add at the end (if wanted)

Steps

Put iron over heat – set to medium-high—and add coconut oil.

When the oil heats, add the cut chicken and cook it- let it brown and finish cooking – it takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Take the chicken out of the iron and put it aside.

In the same iron, add the crushed garlic beside the ginger- cook for a minute until it smells nice.

Add the broccoli pieces and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until they look green and feel tender.

Return the cooked chicken to the iron, then add coconut aminos and sesame oil. Toss it all together until everything has a coating and warms.

Add salt and pepper as needed. Serve it hot with sesame seeds and cut green onions on top if you want.
