Yesterday I didn’t plan ahead for lunch and someone was coming over so I needed something quick and easy. I started out by making brown rice with black eyed peas. Looking in the refrigerator I realized I was quite low on meat but had a pound of ground chicken. I crumbled it and threw it into the ActiFry. Once it was cooked through I added broccoli and BBQ sauce for an easy chicken and broccoli.

Gluten Free Chicken and Broccoli, sweet with a little bit of spice, it perfectly complements brown rice. #easy #delicious

Ground chicken isn’t my favorite on its own. I definitely prefer it mixed into things and with bolder flavors added to it. I cooked it in the ActiFry but you could also cook it on the stove top. I love my ActiFry. All you do is throw it in, set the time, and walk away until it beeps. YES! I hate the mess frying up meat creates and I hate standing over the stove constantly turning it. ActiFry does the hard work for me. It cooks it and turns it so I have perfectly done meat in quick time – 10-15 minutes. This means I can actually sit down and visit for a bit or as I did yesterday, chop a fresh head of broccoli into florets. Once the meat was done I tossed the broccoli in, added about 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce  and set it for another 7 minutes.

I used Honey Chipotle BBQ sauce. It was a perfect blend of sweet and spice. Thankfully it wasn’t so spicy that the littles didn’t enjoy it. You can add more sauce if you want it to be saucy. I went quite light because sauce can be quite messy and with 5 kids eating I just didn’t want to deal with that mess.

Super easy and delicious you can use your favorite BBQ sauce in it. Even better, as long as you use a gluten free BBQ Sauce you don’t have to worry about anyone who has a gluten intolerance.
