Season the chicken slices with salt, pepper and half the cumin, paprika and ginger.
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling salted water 2 minutes, then drain.
💡 A quick blanch keeps the broccoli bright and lets it finish in the skillet without turning gray.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat and sear the chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes total.
Push the chicken to one side, add the garlic and remaining spices to the cleared space, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli and toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Squeeze the lemon over and season to taste.
Scatter with cilantro and serve.
Broccoli has no real place in Morocco's traditional vegetable garden, but the country's everyday spice cabinet — cumin, paprika, garlic, ginger — travels easily onto whatever vegetable is on hand. Quick spiced sautés like this one are how the flavors of a Moroccan kitchen turn up on a weeknight without any pretense of being a named, traditional dish.
