Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken and Shredded Brussels Sprouts Bowls are a quick, protein-packed meal featuring tender chicken, crisp Brussels sprouts, and a bold, spicy sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, they’re easy to customize and serve over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil, divided
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (to taste)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice (for serving)
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, lime wedges, chopped green onion tops

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4–6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add shredded Brussels sprouts and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and honey or maple syrup.
  6. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir everything together for 2–3 more minutes until well coated and heated through.
  7. Serve over your choice of rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with green onion tops, sesame seeds, and lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts to save time.
  • Substitute tofu or tempeh for chicken for a vegan version.
  • Reduce sriracha for a milder version or add more for extra heat.
  • Try adding shredded carrots, snap peas, or mushrooms for more variety.
  • Serve with a drizzle of sesame oil or spicy mayo for extra flavor.
