This is one of my favourite speedy dinners with the leftovers used for a lunch the next day. Zingy orange flavours with ginger and honey make this one that you will make over and over. This is sure to become a firm favourite in your house for a mid-week or weekend dinner. Swap out the broccoli for bok choi and add a handful of broccoli sprouts of toasted pumpkin seeds to finish it to give an even bigger boost of goodness. Ginger, orange and garlic - no better combination.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
4 boneless chicken breasts (skin removed)

225g button mushrooms, washed and halved
2 bunches spring onions, trimmed and halved
