Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Bagged Broccoli Slaw
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 2 tsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Sugar-Free Honey
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Heat Oils: Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Season Chicken: Season the bite-sized chicken thighs with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the meat is well-flavored.
- Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the heated skillet and sauté until browned on all sides and fully cooked through; then remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Broccoli Slaw: Reduce the heat to medium and add the broccoli slaw to the skillet, sautéing until it begins to soften but still retains some crunch.
- Make Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger paste, rice vinegar, sugar-free honey, and red pepper flakes to create a flavorful sauce.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, pour the prepared sauce over everything, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving to add a nutty crunch and visual appeal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breast if preferred, but thighs provide more moisture and flavor.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for desired level of heat.
- This dish is excellent served over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- For a low-sugar option, ensure the honey is pure and unsweetened.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
