Orange Chicken and Broccoli

Orange Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry is a simple 1 pan dish that is easily made in 20 minutes! Simple and healthy ingredients, but full of flavor.

Both of my kids are big fans of Asian Food, I think part of it involves the amount of rice they love to consume with it, but nonetheless it is always greeted with enthusiasm. I love 1 pan dishes that are simple and healthy for busy weeknights. This is just another easy one that came together one night with ingredients I already had on hand.

To begin, I heated up my pan with coconut oil and added some chopped onion and ginger. While that was sautéing, I whipped together the simple sauce, and prepared my chicken and broccoli:

I chop up the chicken to bite size pieces (this also helps it to cook really fast), and chop the broccoli the same. After about 5 minutes of the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture, I threw in the chicken and broccoli together. I don’t like to cook things separately when I want dinner to be done FAST. As soon as I there in the chicken, I also made a side of rice. The chicken and broccoli were done in less than 10 minutes, I tossed in the sauce:

I let it simmer for another 3 minutes or so while the rice was finishing up. Done! Super easy, right?

    This is so tasty & satisfying! I added some mandarin oranges right at the end of cooking to make the orange flavor pop even more. Also mixed in some cornstarch with the orange juice to thicken up the juices a bit. Even subscribed to your newsletter because of this recipe…
