That means you can use fresh, healthy ingredients and avoid any unwanted additives or ingredients that aren\u2019t so healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Can_Customize_Your_Stir_Fry_To_Your_Liking\"><\/span><strong>You Can Customize Your Stir Fry To Your Liking<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t like too much spice? No problem! Making a stir fry at home means you can adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. Want a keto-friendly version? Again, no problem!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just leave out the rice or noodles and go heavy on the veggies. Need a gluten-free option? Swap the soy sauce for tamari.

When you make a stir fry at home, you can stretch your ingredients to feed more people for less money. This is certainly the more budget-friendly option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve convinced you to ditch the take-out and make a stir fry at home, let\u2019s get to the recipe!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/low-calorie-breakfast-recipes-for-weight-loss\/\"><i>Low-Calorie Breakfast Recipes For Weight Loss<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Chicken_And_Broccoli_Stir_Fry\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29383 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"chicken and broccoli stir fry healthy\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-2-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/4-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chicken_And_Broccoli_Stir_Fry_Recipe\"><\/span><strong>Chicken And Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This healthy chicken and broccoli stir fry is inspired by the classic Chinese take-out dish with a few adjustments to make it lighter and healthier. The best part? It\u2019s ready in under 30 minutes, which makes it the perfect weeknight <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/pina-colada-overnight-oats\/\">meal<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chicken_Thighs_Vs_Chicken_Breast\"><\/span><strong>Chicken Thighs Vs Chicken Breast<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of stir fry recipes call for chicken breast, but we prefer to use chicken thighs. Why? Chicken thighs are juicier and have more flavor. They\u2019re also less likely to dry out when stir fried.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you prefer chicken breast, you can certainly use it in this recipe \u2013 just be sure not to overcook it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The skin on chicken thighs also adds a nice crispy texture to the dish, but if you\u2019re watching your fat intake, you can remove the skin before cooking. Just make a small cut along the edge of the skin and use your fingers to peel it off. You can also buy boneless skinless thighs to make it even easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sugar-Free_Stir-Fry_Sauce\"><\/span><strong>Sugar-Free Stir-Fry Sauce<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional stir-fry sauces are loaded with sugar, but this homemade version is completely sugar-free. It\u2019s made with coconut aminos, sesame oil, fish sauce, and arrowroot starch.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Coconut aminos:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a sauce made from coconut sap. It has a slightly sweet taste with a touch of umami. Compared to soy sauce, coconut aminos has a lower sodium content and is also gluten-free.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sesame oil:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adds a nutty flavor to the sauce.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fish sauce:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made from fermented fish, this ingredient adds a salty, umami flavor and depth to the dish.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Arrowroot starch:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this helps to thicken the sauce and gives it a glossy sheen. It\u2019s gluten-free and has a neutral taste.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fresh_Broccoli\"><\/span><strong>Fresh Broccoli<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to get crisp, fresh broccoli is to buy it in season. That said, you can often find good quality frozen broccoli that works well in this recipe too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just be sure to thaw it completely and drain any excess water before adding it to the stir fry. Frozen vegetables tend to release a lot of water, so if you add them to the pan while they\u2019re still frozen, it will make the sauce watery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Herbs_And_Spices\"><\/span><strong>Herbs And Spices<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep this recipe light and healthy, we\u2019ve used a minimal amount of herbs and spices. Just a touch of garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to give it a bit of flavor without being overpowering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spice in the dish. Salt and pepper are also added to taste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether you\u2019re looking to simply pep up your fitness routine, jazz up your diet with mouth-watering low-calorie recipes or want to get your act together and significantly drop that number on your scale \u2013 BetterMe app has got you covered! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Chicken_And_Broccoli_Stir_Fry\">Improve your body<\/a> and revamp your life with us!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Chicken_And_Broccoli_Stir_Fry\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29386 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"chicken and broccoli stir fry healthy\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-2.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-2-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/1-2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Make_Chicken_And_Broccoli_Stir_Fry_4\"><\/span><strong>How To Make Chicken And Broccoli Stir Fry (<a href=\"https:\/\/allthehealthythings.com\/healthy-chicken-broccoli-stir-fry-whole30\/\">4<\/a>)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now let\u2019s get to the cooking!

And since this dish is loaded with protein and fiber, you\u2019ll likely feel satisfied after eating it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fat\"><\/span><strong>Fat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fat content in this recipe comes mostly from the chicken thighs and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/caribbean-recipes\/\">avocado oil<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While chicken thigh meat does have a higher fat content than breast meat, it\u2019s also a good source of healthy fats. And avocado oil is a great choice for cooking at high temperatures because it has a high smoke point. This means it won\u2019t break down and release harmful toxins when heated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out of the 28.2 grams of fat in one serving, only 4.5 grams are saturated fats (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allthehealthythings.com\/healthy-chicken-broccoli-stir-fry-whole30\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Saturated fats are the \u201cbad\u201d kind of fats that may increase your risk for heart disease and other health problems (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5577766\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). While this recipe does have some saturated fat, it\u2019s not an excessive amount. Plus, you can always remove the skin of the chicken thighs if you want to minimize it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has 11.6 grams of mono-unsaturated fat and 10.2 grams of polyunsaturated fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allthehealthythings.com\/healthy-chicken-broccoli-stir-fry-whole30\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). These are the \u201cgood\u201d fats that may actually improve your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk for heart disease (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5577766\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Chicken_And_Broccoli_Stir_Fry\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29377 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/10-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"chicken and broccoli stir fry healthy\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/10.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/10-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/10.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/10-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/10.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sodium\"><\/span><strong>Sodium<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is 1142.6 mg of sodium in one serving of our stir fry (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allthehealthythings.com\/healthy-chicken-broccoli-stir-fry-whole30\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
