Chicken and Broccoli

When I looked in my fridge yesterday morning I was surprised by the emptiness. I had just done a grocery run earlier that week. Our family is eating so much more food (whole food) and I needed to replenish. The only problem was that I had to make dinner before my next grocery run. Time to get creative! I had a pound of chicken breasts and some broccoli. I almost always have onions in our vegetable drawer so chicken and broccoli it was! Good stir fry sauce is easy to make so I whisked some together in a flash. I’ll leave you that recipe below but you can always use store bought teriyaki sauce if you have it on hand. Serve on top of your favorite rice. Here we go…
