This Chicken Broccoli Stir-Fry is one of my favorite meals for a busy weeknight. With chicken, broccoli, carrots, and a delectable yet simple Asian-inspired sauce, it’s as tasty as it is easy and makes for a great way to sneak in some extra veggies for the day. The optional cashews add some crunchy, savory interest for those not on a nut-free diet and can also be replaced with peanuts for anyone who tolerates them as well.
