- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 14 ounces broccoli cut into small florets

- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey

- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add broccoli, and cook until bright green and slightly tender.
- Add ground chicken to the skillet and break it into small crumbles as it cooks.
- Stir the chicken and broccoli together once the chicken is no longer pink and most moisture has cooked off.

Notes
Storage: Store cooled chicken and broccoli in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating: Microwave in short bursts or warm in a covered skillet with a splash of water until hot throughout.
Freezing: Freeze portions for up to 2 months, knowing the broccoli will soften after thawing.
Best Tips: Brown the ground chicken before adding sauce so the finished bowls taste richer and less steamed.
Sauce Tips: Reduce the sriracha for milder bowls or add a small splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.
Meal Prep: Keep rice or greens separate from the saucy chicken if you want the freshest texture through the week.
Variations: Swap in ground turkey, diced chicken breast, snap peas, bell pepper, or cauliflower rice to fit your bowl style.
