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.🍝

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
