Broccoli Chicken Stir Fry

It seems like I have lots of stir fry dinners on Saturday nights! I was feeling like some more vegetables, so Saturday night became a stir fry night again! I guess I'm calling this a stir fry recipe, but what exactly constitutes a stir fry?

Regardless of what the correct name for this recipe is, it's super easy and tastes great! I think I say that every recipe of mine is super easy, but really, I don't ever make anything complicated. I don't think eating healthy has to necessarily involve huge ingredient lists or tricky instructions...just focus on eating fruits and vegetables and reasonable amounts of lean protein and you'll be fine. 

Anyway, enjoy this simple stir fry (or whatever it is)!



Ingredients:
1/2 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" pieces
1 broccoli head, chopped up into small florets
1/3 C chopped red onion
1/3 C canned pineapple chunks
1 T Asian Toasted Sesame dressing
salt and pepper to taste
chopped peanuts (optional)

1. Steam broccoli until it's almost all the way cooked.


2. Cook chicken with red onion in a medium-sized skillet.


3. Add broccoli to chicken and onion when chicken is mostly cooked.


4. Add pineapple.


5. Add dressing and mix everything together.


6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. If you want, top with chopped peanuts.



And after eating up this nice and healthy dinner, my sister and I proceeded to eat a large amount of Lindor chocolates. Ah well, balance is key!


I hope you have a wonderful day!
