12-MINUTE CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

For some reason all five stars didn’t post when I wrote my review; I’m pretty positive I clicked on all the stars. I apologize for leaving off a star, because this is definitely a five star recipe. I’ve made it previously, and will continue to do so. Thanks again!

STIR-FRY INGREDIENTS:

• 1 bunch broccoli, chopped into small florets, stem discarded
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• toppings: sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE THE STIR-FRY:

1. Frist Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
