This Easy Honey Soy Chicken dinner is made in no time with the Ninja Foodi Deluxe, and is a great way to get started on your healthy living routine for the year!

We’re big fans of easy recipes in our home. The big bonus is when the recipe is not only easy, but quick and healthy.

Quick and Easy Asian Chicken For Busy Weeknights

Working from home doesn’t mean I have more time to create a weeknight meal. Sometimes, I’m just as busy (or busier) than when I worked outside of the home.

This meal is made in the Ninja Foodi Deluxe, which means I can set it, let it cook, and serve when we’re ready to sit around the table.

The Ninja Foodi Deluxe makes this so simple for me to get dinner together during one of my work breaks.

Perdue Farms makes it even easier since I can place 2 packages of Perdue Farms Fresh Cuts Chicken Breast Strips in the Ninja Foodi, with a few other ingredients. Did I mention you can use frozen chicken strips for this recipe?

Pre-made Ingredients Make This A Breeze

The other time-saving ingredients I use in this recipe are baby carrots and pre-cut broccoli florets.

I usually cut my own carrots when I have time, but this recipe is all about getting a quick, healthy meal on the table. Bagged baby carrots help make that meal happen in no time.

Broccoli is one of the vegetables all 3 of my kids enjoy, so I use it whenever I can. What’s great is the broccoli is steamed in the Ninja Foodi at the end of the recipe, so they stay bright green and delicious.
