Stir Fry Vegetables with Chicken
Easy- Peasy Dinner Idea
Stir Fry Vegetables with Chicken (or favorite protein) Serves 4
To make this easy peasy, pick up a roasted chicken from your grocery (I recommend PCC roasted chickens). Purchase already chopped vegetables. Instead of chicken, you can also use Tofu, Shrimp or Pork.
1 T coconut oil
1 lb cooked chicken, chopped into bite size chunks
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup julienned or shredded carrots
1 chopped red bell pepper
1 chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage*
1 cup snow peas
steamed rice
Your favorite Teriyaki sauce (I'll put my easy homemade recipe below.
If you are making your own sauce, do that first, and set aside.
Cut up the chicken and set aside.
In a wok/large sauté pan, heat coconut oil over high heat. Add in veggies and cook for about 4 minutes until just al dente tossing frequently.
Add the chicken and sauce to pan and cook 2 additional minutes
Serve over rice and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
For a homemade sauce, in a small saucepan, whisk together, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 5 tsp packed brown sugar, 2-3 T honey, to taste, 1/2 tsp ground ginger & 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Cook until nearly heated through, about 1 minute.
Mix 2 T cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water in a cup; stir until dissolved. Add to the saucepan. Cook & stir sauce until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
