Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the chicken is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. 2.
   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the grated ginger. Sauté the ginger for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it as it can quickly turn bitter.
3. 3.
   Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring them with the ginger. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to create steam and cook the broccoli evenly.
4. 4.
   Return the chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour lime juice over the mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. The lime will add a tangy brightness that complements the savory notes from the ginger.
5. 5.
   Taste and adjust with more lime juice or ginger to reach your desired flavor. Serve immediately, ensuring each bite has a balance of chicken and broccoli for a well-rounded taste experience.
