Orange Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry
This chicken and veggie stir-fry satisfies even the biggest craving for takeout. It's also really easy and quick to make. This stir fry is packed with broccoli, asparagus and plenty of juicy chicken. You can use light or dark meat chicken for this, but I prefer chicken thigh meat which is more flavorful and tender.

Add 1/4 of your marinade to your prepared chicken thigh meat, stir and let it marinate while preparing the rest of your veggies (⏱️ 15-30 min).

Heat a large wok or heavy-bottomed saute pan over high heat. Add 1/2 cup water. As soon as it boils, add broccoli, carrot and asparagus.

Again, heat the pan over high heat and stir in 1 1/2 Tbsp oil. Add diced onion and saute ⏱️ 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Let the chicken sit untouched for ⏱️ 2 minutes until browned, then stir to brown the other side. Once chicken is almost cooked, add the reserved marinade and simmer ⏱️ 3 minutes or until sauce thickens. Stir in the vegetables and continue to cook another minute. Chicken should be fully cooked. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve over hot rice.
