Things have been really busy for me lately.

It can sometimes be tricky to find a great balance between working a full-time clinical psychology internship, trying to finish my PhD (why must my dissertation torment me???), self-care, and other responsibilties.

That is really my mood most days now. 

So, that is why I appreciate simple weeknight meals like this Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry that take less than 30 minutes to make.

You’ll just need a few simple ingredients and most are staples you probably already have at home.

Simply sauté the chicken, the aromatics, the broccoli, and make your sauce.

You’ll have this Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry ready to serve before you know it.

Drizzle on some sesame oil if you want to amp the dish up with even more flavor.
