For the Stir Fry:
- 1 lb Nutrafarms ground chicken
- 2–3 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2–3 tbsp teriyaki sauce (see below)
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
- Green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds
🍯 Simple Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger (optional, but recommended)
- 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry)
🍳 Instructions
1. Prep your veggies
Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Mince the garlic and set aside.
2. Cook the ground chicken
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and break it apart as it cooks.
3. Season & build flavour
Once the chicken starts browning, add garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and lightly caramelized.
4. Add Brussels sprouts
Toss in the Brussels sprouts and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’re looking for tender with a slight crisp for texture.
5. Add teriyaki sauce
Pour in the teriyaki sauce and mix well so everything is evenly coated.
6. Finish with sesame oil
Drizzle sesame oil over top, give it one final stir, and remove from heat.
7. Serve & enjoy
Top with green onions and sesame seeds for added crunch and freshness.
