Keto Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli Recipe

Hey there, friend! Welcome to the kitchen. Today, we’re making something so good that you might find yourself licking the spoon when no one’s looking—Keto Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli. If you’re into bold, sweet-and-spicy flavors and keeping things low-carb, this dish is about to be your new favorite. Don’t worry if you’re not a kitchen pro; I’ll walk you through it step by step, just like I would if we were cooking together in person.

Let’s get started.

What Makes This Dish Special?

Before we get cooking, here’s why you’ll love this:

• Quick and Easy: You’ll have dinner ready in about 30 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights.
• One-Pan Wonder: Fewer dishes to wash? Yes, please.
• Keto-Friendly: Low in carbs but high in flavor. That’s the magic combo.

Now grab your apron (or a towel if you’re like me and never use one), and let’s do this.

What You’ll Need

Here’s the lineup of ingredients. Most of these are pantry staples, and if you don’t have something, I’ve got you covered with easy swaps.

For the Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for fewer carbs)
• 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust based on how spicy you like it)
• 1 tablespoon keto honey (I’ll tell you about substitutes in a bit!)
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (adds a tangy kick)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, but it adds depth)

For the Main Dish:

• 1 pound ground chicken (turkey works too)
• 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder if you’re in a pinch)
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional but amazing for flavor)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sesame seeds and green onions, for garnish (optional, but they make it look fancy!)

Substitutions and Tips

• Keto Honey: If you can’t find it, use a mix of sugar-free maple syrup and a pinch of stevia. It’s not exactly honey, but it’ll do the trick.
• Soy Sauce Alternatives: Coconut aminos or tamari are excellent low-carb swaps.
• Veggie Switch-Up: Not into broccoli? Try zucchini, snap peas, or even cauliflower.
• Spice Level: If you’ve got little ones or aren’t a fan of heat, dial back the sriracha and add a bit more sweetness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

We’re cooking this all in one pan, so grab your biggest skillet or wok, and let’s get this show on the road.

Step 1: Mix the Sauce

Start by whisking all your sauce ingredients in a small bowl. That’s the soy sauce, sriracha, keto honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil (if you’re using it). Taste it. Does it need more sweetness? A little more heat? Adjust it now so you don’t have to fuss later. Set it aside.

Step 2: Prep the Broccoli

If you’re using fresh broccoli, give it a quick rinse and chop it into bite-sized florets. Frozen broccoli works too; just let it thaw a bit so it cooks evenly. Don’t skip this step unless you like half-cooked chunks in your stir-fry (no judgment if you do).

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in your ground chicken and break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. If it starts to stick, drizzle in a bit more oil. Once it’s done, scoop it out onto a plate and set it aside. We’ll come back to it in a minute.

Step 4: Sauté the Broccoli

In the same skillet (don’t wash it—those leftover chicken bits add flavor!), add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the broccoli and cook for 4–5 minutes. If you like it softer, cover the pan for a minute or two so it steams.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds—just long enough to get that amazing smell wafting through your kitchen.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Time to bring it all together. Lower the heat to medium, and add the cooked chicken back into the pan with the broccoli. Pour in the sauce you made earlier, and give everything a good stir to coat.

Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes. This helps the flavors soak into the chicken and broccoli. The sauce will thicken slightly as it heats up, which is exactly what we want.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Turn off the heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top if you’re feeling fancy. Serve it up in bowls or over cauliflower rice if you’re extra hungry.

Grab your fork and dig in. (Or chopsticks if you’re feeling adventurous.)

Why You’ll Want This on Repeat

This Keto Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli is the kind of recipe that works for all occasions:

• Meal Prep: Make a big batch and portion it out for the week. It reheats beautifully.
• Family Dinner: Even picky eaters might give this one a thumbs-up.
• Quick Cravings: Got 30 minutes? You’ve got dinner.

It’s also ridiculously versatile. Switch up the protein (shrimp or tofu, anyone?), try a different veggie, or make the sauce a little tangier or sweeter depending on your mood.

Pro Tips for Perfect Stir-Fry

• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: If you double the recipe, cook the chicken and veggies in batches so everything browns instead of steaming.
• Taste As You Go: The sauce is the star here, so don’t be shy about adjusting it to fit your preferences.
• Work Fast: Stir-fries are all about quick cooking. Have everything prepped before you start because once the pan’s hot, there’s no time for chopping.
