Thai Curried Chicken with Broccoli is a low carb, gluten free, dairy free, delicious skillet meal!
If you are low carb, dairy free, gluten free or just want a delicious, slightly spicy chicken dinner, Thai Curried Chicken with Broccoli is a great dish for you!
It is tasty and satisfying on its own or served over rice or quinoa for any one who is not watching their carbs.
I add just a little bit of pumpkin to it for extra nutrition that no one suspects is in there but it is optional, as it does not add any flavor.
I use 2 pounds of broccoli because we like plenty of that in there. Mmm!
Lately, the one pound bags of frozen broccoli has been harder to find; they come in 12 oz bags. I have just been using 3 12 oz bags. That is 36oz instead of 32oz so just 4oz more. Just use what you can find. It won’t matter.
