A cozy comfort dish featuring tender chicken, vibrant broccoli, and gluten-free noodles, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 8 ounces gluten-free noodles
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos) gluten-free option
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional) for a spicy kick
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by cooking your gluten-free noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and continue sautéing for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the soy sauce and remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and toss to combine everything well.
- Finally, add the cooked gluten-free noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the garlic sauce and the dish is heated through.
Serving
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Choosing the right noodles: Opt for varieties made from rice or quinoa for the best texture. Cooking chicken perfectly: Do not overcrowd your skillet to ensure even browning. Fresh garlic enhances flavor.
