Orange Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

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?
