Paleo Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Total time30 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time15 min

Thinly sliced chicken breast sears fast and hot until golden and juicy, then gets tossed with crisp-tender broccoli that's picked up just enough char at the edges. Fresh ginger and scallion greens hit the pan for a burst of aromatic flavor before everything comes together in a glossy, savory sauce built on coconut aminos and a touch of sesame oil. A splash of apple cider vinegar keeps things bright, while arrowroot powder thickens the sauce to that perfect takeout-style coating without any flour involved. This one comes together in a single skillet in well under thirty minutes, making it an easy weeknight staple. It's a genuinely satisfying, protein-packed dinner that fits right into a Paleo kitchen, and the optional sesame seeds and red pepper flakes let you dial in the finishing touch exactly how you like it.
