Description

A lively blend of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic (grated or minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)


Instructions

  1. Whisk together buffalo sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Stir in the chopped broccoli, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Pour the prepared firecracker sauce over the chicken and broccoli mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  6. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the broccoli reaches your desired level of tenderness.
  7. Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
  8. Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or in lettuce wraps for a lighter option.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the ground chicken in the buffalo sauce for an hour before cooking. Consider adding sliced bell peppers or snap peas for crunch.
