Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Cook Garlic and Ginger:
In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if necessary, then toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Cook the Broccoli:
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
Prepare the Sauce:
While the broccoli is cooking, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and erythritol (if using) in a small bowl.
Combine Chicken and Broccoli:
Once the broccoli is tender, return the chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir to coat everything evenly.
Finish Cooking:
Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to heat through and thicken slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if desired).
Serve:
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb stir fry.
