- 1/2 cup broccolini, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 onion, chopped

Here's how to make it:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the chicken, broccolini and onion. Cook until vegetables are soft and chicken is almost cooked through. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds. You could substitute regular broccoli florets for the broccolini.
