Easy & Healthy Chicken Stir Fry


So I've been trying really hard to eat healthy lately because summer is coming up and I ate really crummy on my trip to Florida. My Pinterest boards are currently full of healthy recipes, but you guys, I work 6 days a week and by the time I get home in the evening and finish my housework and laundry, the last thing I want to do is cook some elaborate meal. So one night I just opened the fridge and threw this together. I've been eating it atleast once or twice a week since then because it's SO good! Plus it only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish!

Ingredients
  • 1-2 TBS Organic Coconut Oil
  • Tyson Grilled & Ready Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Strips
  • Bird's Eye Normandy Blend Frozen Vegetables
  • Kikkoman Stir Fry Sauce
  •  Snap Peas
  •  Mushrooms
  • Broccoli Slaw
 I start by putting 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a saute pan on medium high.
Once that melts I put the chicken in the pan. How much I use really depends on if I'm making it for lunch, dinner, just for myself, or for me and my husband. Just throw in however much chicken you want! Cook that for about 5-6 minutes or until it's thawed (the chicken is already fully cooked so you're just warming it up).

Once the chicken is thawed, add in the vegetables. Again, you can add as much or as little as you like. I like to add quite a bit of vegetables because I love my veggies! The Normandy blend doesn't have snap peas, broccoli slaw, or mushrooms so I add those in too (unless I'm making it for my husband because he hates snap peas lol). I saute those with the chicken on high heat until they're soft, but still a little crunchy, if that makes any sense. You don't want them as soft as veggies that are steamed, but you don't want them super crunchy either. Once they're thawed and warm you can taste test the veggies and decide how crunchy or soft you want them.

So once the veggies are to my liking, I add in a little stir fry sauce. I just eyeball it, it's probably about 3-4 tablespoons. I stir this into the pan and make sure all the chicken and veggies are coated. Stir this around for a few minutes on low heat until everything is warm.

That's all folks! I know there's alot of eyeballing in this recipe, but honestly just throw everything in the pan based on your taste. It's a hard recipe to mess up! Enjoy!

Xoxo,

Ashley
