Chicken Vegetable Stir-Fry

Confession… I am a lazy cook! That is why most of the recipes in my cookbook take 15-30 minutes and one pan to make. It is why I absolutely love stir-frys and let my children learn early how to help prepare and cook them.

My chicken vegetable stir-fry includes chicken, onions, summer squash, and broccoli, but can be substituted with any of your favorite veggies! This is one of the fast dinners I make when we are on the run. It isn’t fancy, but it tastes great and the kids always eat it!

Chicken Vegetable Stir-Fry

Chicken vegetable stir-fry is excellent served over rice (if you eat rice), and we usually top it with coconut aminos (similar to soy sauce).

It is a very versatile recipe and different seasonings can change the taste to make a completely different dish. I’ve used many of my homemade herb and spice blends on this stir-fry. Some of my favorites to use with this are curry powder, Cajun seasoning, and Italian seasoning.

If you want a quick and healthy meal idea, give this one a try!
