How to Make Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Add garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add broccoli and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until tender but still crisp.

In a small bowl, mix honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Pour the sauce into the pan and stir well to combine.

Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

How to Serve

Serve hot over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor.

Tips for Best Results

Adjust sriracha based on your spice level. Don’t overcook broccoli to keep it crisp. Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Let the sauce thicken fully before serving.

Variations

Use ground turkey instead of chicken. Add bell peppers or snap peas. Make it low-carb with cauliflower rice. Add extra chili flakes for more heat.

Storage and Reheating

Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave until warmed through.
