Step 1

Sauté broccoli, red onion, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté till the broccoli is bright green and the onion and peppers have softened a bit about 10 min. You can also add 2 Thai chilies here or red pepper flake if you like a little heat! Use this time to dice up the chicken and make the sauce to save time! Don’t forget to start the rice if you are serving over rice!

Step 2

Add garlic and basil and stir till fragrant

Step 3

Remove veggies from pan and set aside.

Step 4

Sauté diced chicken breast, add a little more oil if needed and season with salt and pepper. Once the chicken is cooked through and a little browned, add the sauce mix and stir till all the chicken is coated.

Step 5

Add back the veggies and stir. Search over rice or noodles!
