March is slowly coming to an end and the Midwest is starting to awaken again for Spring. The birds are super loud – chirping all day, the grass is green and the trees are starting to flower.
It’s still cold though. Lol.
Regardless of the weather, one of my favorite lunches to make is Chicken Broccoli and Noodle Stir Fry. I love how easy it is to make. I love the freshness of the broccoli and the sweetness that the coconut aminos give the noodles.
What Are Coconut Aminos?
Coconut aminos are fermented coconut nectar, it is very sweet and it can be used in place of soy sauce in many dishes. I like to use a little bit of it in my Chinese-inspired dishes with a pinch of red crushed pepper flakes to balance the sweetness.
If you are looking for the taste of soy sauce, try liquid aminos instead, it has a very similar taste to soy sauce just not as salty.
Many people have an allergy to soy, so coconut aminos are a great alternative for them! I’ll link the one I use if you want to check it out!
How to make Chicken Broccoli Noodle Stir Fry
1. The longest step of this recipe is boiling the noodles. I use lo mein noodles from my local grocery store. I love the flavor and the texture of these noodles over regular pasta. Boil the noodles until they are done, but not overcooked – they will cook a bit more in the stir fry!
2. In a large cast-iron skillet, saute your cubed chicken breast with onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and all-purpose seasoning. I love to use all-purpose seasoning in almost every dish I make. I love how much flavor it adds to everything!
3. Then add in the frozen broccoli, the coconut aminos, and a pinch of red crushed pepper flakes. You can use fresh broccoli if you have it, I usually have frozen broccoli on hand though!
4. Once the broccoli is fork-tender, add in the cooked noodles. Cook the noodles for a few minutes so that they are coated in the sauce.
Serve and enjoy!
