20-Minute Orange Chicken with Broccoli

October 15, 2014 by RecipeLion

When it comes to easy weeknight dinner recipes, stir-fry is on my list of dishes that make the meal plan regularly. It’s super easy to make, doesn’t require me to turn on the oven, and is ready in as little as 20 minutes! Birds Eye vegetables teamed up with celebrity chef Melissa d’Arabian – host of FoodNetwork.com series “The Picky Eaters Project” – to develop this homemade takeout recipe the whole family will love.

It can be hard getting picky eaters to get their full servings of vegetables during dinnertime – many kids and adults alike don’t care for any kind of vegetables at all! This 20-Minute Orange Chicken with Broccoli is a great way to mix the vegetables in with tender chicken and a delicious orange sauce, so even the pickiest eaters will clean their plates. The beauty of using Birds Eye recipe-ready frozen vegetables is that you don’t have to fuss with washing and chopping – you just throw the vegetables in the pan and cook! You won’t waste any food by buying full sizes of each vegetable fresh.

This is a one-pan recipe that will cut down on time and clean-up! With just 20 minutes, you can make this Orange Chicken with Broccoli – a takeout fakeout recipe that makes a great weeknight dinner. Skip the delivery and make something homemade instead. Not only will you save money, but homemade always tastes better.
