Orange Ginger Ground Chicken Stir Fry

Picture

let's jazz up some ground chicken! 

I am always looking for new delicious ways to flavor ground chicken.  This combination of orange juice and ginger makes the chicken have a zesty Asian flavor that you can't get stop eating!

This recipe can be used for lunch or dinner!  I used this recipe when meal prepping my lunches for my first week back to school, and it was SUCH A HEALTHY TREAT!  This meal kept my taste buds happy and my stomach feeling satisfied.  

This recipe can be modified if needed. Instead of using the vegetables in the recipe { red pepper, peas, and broccoli }, you can totally choose your favorite veggies instead. 

I like leaving the broccoli and peppers raw because it gives this dish a much needed CRUNCH :).  Plus, the warm saucy chicken will cook the veggies just a tad right before eating. 

Alrighty, let's get goin' with some orange ginger chicken deliciousness!
