10-Minute Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli
10-Minute
Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli - Juicy, tender chicken in an amazing sweet
gingery sauce. This sauce is better than any store-bought teriyaki and is so
easy to make at home while still feeling like you got takeout.
What I love
about this recipe is it reminds me of weekends Drew and I would order take out
(usually chicken & vegetables over a big bowl of rice) and curl up on our
couch watching an episode of Gilmore Girls. We both love a good sauce-y chicken
with lots of vegetables over rice or quinoa.
Not only is
this dish super yummy but it’s a fast and easy dinner the whole family will
love. All you need is a handful of simple ingredients and a few minutes to whip
up this amazing 10-minute dinner!
