A Chicken Stir Fry Favorite



Recommended Posts

I love easy meals that are crowd pleasers. Here's my daughter's favorite.

Boneless skinless chicken breasts. (I snip them into bit sized pieces with kitchen sheers straight into the pan out of the package..super quick and I don't have a raw chicken cutting board to bleach afterward. You can clip any gross parts back into the package and throw it away without raw chicken juice loose in your kitchen)

Brown the chicken breasts bites in olive oil. Season with Montreal Steak Seasoning Original (I know...it's chicken...but trust me, you'll love this)

Chop up one large green pepper, add to stir fry

Chop up one medium sweet onion, add to stir fry

Chop 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms. add to stir fry

Chop one small zucchini 6 inches by 1 inch long....cut in half lengthwise and cut into slices.

Chop one small yellow squash...same size as zucchini...cut in half lengthwise and cut into slices.

Add zuchinni and squash to stir fry

Add more Montreal Steak Seasonings to the veggies.

Before I start making this, I start some brown rice in the rice cooker. I serve it over about a quarter cup of cooked brown rice. Rice is optional, but I like it better with a little rice.

Super simple and my family loves this one.

You can also cut everything up, and put it in a storage container to cook that evening....or throw in a cooler to take with you camping or to your brother in law's barbecue, so there's a healthy option. Throw a cast Iron skillet on the fire, and you're in business. Easy Peasy. Have also had good luck putting this in tin foil pouches and throwing them right on the fire.

Thanks, sounds delicious. How many pounds of chicken breast to the veggies listed? I'll need to make multiples and want to get my proportions right. Thanks!

I make some stir fry that is very similar, just adding Water chestnuts because I love them and substituting riced cauliflower for the brown rice. Also add some gluten free soy sauce mixed with sesame oil. This is SOOO good and satisfying.

I am a fan of cooking fish in foil pocket with veges -- so easy!! I always have the big bag of frozen stir fry veges from costco, 'cause I'm lazy!:P

About a pound for the veggies listed. Feeds four people, easily. If you've got a big crowd, double it up:)

We have a chest freezer nearly full of frozen veggies because we still feed 6 adults most night at my house. Not sure I can count myself right now. 2 broccoli florets is a big veggie night for me.

Double-Triple, you know the Baby Dragon s and Big Dragon better than I do. At least the recipe,isn't full of simple carbs and fats, and it does sound GOOD.🍝

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
