Ingredients

Ingredients:

Chicken:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 chicken thighs fat removed
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • Trader Joe's General Tsao stir-fry sauce
  • Green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Cook brown rice or garlic rice in a large saucepan, according to the instructions.
  • Meanwhile, steam the broccoli by placing a steamer in a large saucepan with a few inches of water. Add broccoli florets, cover with a lid, and steam for 2-3 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  • Prepare the chicken by seasoning the thighs with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Cook the chicken by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.

  • Serve immediately with broccoli, rice, and lots of sauce.
