Recipe Tuesday Chicken Stir Fry

Chicken & Vegetable Stir Fry

Making your own Chinese food ensures you're eating healthy and not spending a lot of dough. This recipe is a tried and true recipe, my partner wanted to eat this every day for 2 weeks the first time I ever made it. Recipe below contains 372 Calories for each 1 cup of stir fry and half cup of rice. Recipe makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (cut into less than an half inch)
  • 12 oz frozen vegetables
  • 1/2 cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 cups Long Grain White Rice
  • OPTIONAL - Sesame Seeds
  • OPTIONAL - Ground Ginger


Instructions:

  1. Add oil to skillet over medium/high heat
  2. Add the chopped chicken to the skillet and stir until no longer pink
  3. Add the frozen vegges to the skillet and stir until veggies are tender
  4. Follow the packaged instructions for the Rice
  5. Reduce heat to medium/low and add the soy sauce, let simmer until rice is finished cooking
  6. When rice is finished serve the chicken and veggies over it and tada you're done!
Notes - If you want a little more kick and don't mind a few extra calories add a tbsp of Sesame Seeds. There are a lot of health benefits of adding ground ginger to your diet, adding a pinch won't bust the calorie bank but it will add a little more health to your lifestyle. To mix it up change the vegetables you use or instead of white rice use egg noodles, though if you use egg noodles using Reduced Teriyaki Sauce instead of Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce offers a better flavor on the noodles.
