Cooking Steps
If needed, cut or break broccoli florets into bite size pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk to combine soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water.
Open and drain diced dark meat chicken. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferrably nonstick pan, over medium-high heat. Add chicken to hot oil and spread out in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Place broccoli on top of chicken in a single layer. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until chicken begins to brown, 2-3 minutes.
Stir to combine chicken and broccoli. Cover and cook until chicken is fully cooked and broccoli is tender, 3-4 minutes.
While chicken and broccoli cook, gently squeeze grain blend package to separate rice. Tear 2 inches to vent pouch. Heat on high for 90 seconds. (Microwave times may vary. Be careful when handling and opening the pouch.)
Reduce heat to medium. Whisk soy sauce and cornstarch mixture again, and slowly add to pan with chicken and broccoli. Stir to combine (TIP: Sauce will thicken and coat the chicken and broccoli quickly!). Season with chiil flakes to taste (we added 1/4 tsp) and stir.
Remove pan from heat. Add orange sauce and stir to evenly coat.
Divide grain blend between bowls and top with orange chicken and broccoli and any remaining sauce in pan. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with any remaining chili flakes to taste.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was pretty good. The broccoli was brown in some spots, so I just used some frozen broccoli I had. The recipe was so quick, with minimal dishes. I only used half the orange sauce.
Very easy to make. Although it still tastes delicious the broccoli overcooked and turned into mush. I would recommend cooking the chicken alone for the first few minutes and then adding the broccoli so it doesn't over cook.
The broccoli had turned by the time I cooked, so I didn't use it. But the rest of recipe was very good. I like the ease.
Very tasty. Would cook broccoli for less time so it is slightly crunchy, not mushy
Family liked it; even asked for seconds. Should have more chicken considering the large amount of broccoli provided. I added more chicken myself
So easy to make. You can make it as spicy as you want. My husband likes it spicy and I dont so we add the chili flakes separately.
We really liked this meal. The grain blend was a nice touch. The sauce was really delicious.
Love how easy it is! Delicious flavors. Would like carrots and mandarin oranges in it.
Not as flavorful as most other stir fry recipes, maybe it's the premade orange sauce. Would like to see a fresh orange/Zest in this one to jazz it up. And green onion!
Not that flavorful. Had to leave out the pepper flakes since my sister doesn't like spicy. Loved the multi grain blend and the quick cook and easy prep.
