Garlic broccoli with chicken gravy is a simple yet delicious dish that combines the robust flavors of garlic and broccoli with the rich and savory taste of chicken gravy. This healthy, flavorful side dish is easy to prepare and perfect for any meal.
Instructions:
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly under running water.
- Cut the broccoli into florets, and slice the stems into thin pieces if desired.
- Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
- Drain the broccoli immediately and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden brown.
- Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
- Add the drained broccoli to the skillet with the garlic and olive oil. Toss to coat the broccoli evenly.
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the broccoli and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is fully coated and heated through.
- Pour the chicken gravy over the broccoli mixture.
- Stir gently to coat the broccoli with the gravy. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the gravy is warmed and well combined with the broccoli.
- Add a dash of salt to taste, if needed.
- Transfer the garlic broccoli with chicken gravy to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- Use fresh, firm broccoli for the best texture and flavor.
- When sautéing garlic, be careful not to burn it. Burnt garlic can impart a bitter taste to the dish.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add more red pepper to taste.
- To prepare a smoother chicken gravy, make sure it is well whisked to avoid lumps.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken gravy with a mushroom or vegetable gravy of your choice.
