Instructions

  1. To make the orange sauce, stir together first 8 ingredients in a small bowl, including ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
  2. Season chicken breast with ½ teaspoon salt. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken and sauté until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate.
  3. Respray the skillet, adding onions and broccoli. Sauté until the veggies are browned on the edges but still crisp. Add chicken back to the skillet with the vegetables.
  4. Pour sauce over veggies and chicken. Stir, serve and enjoy!

Note

  • Feel free to swap out the vegetables for whatever you prefer. Bell peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash all work great as well!
  • Recipe can easily be cooked together on a pan instead of a skillet
