Easy Chicken and Vegetables Stir Fry is quick and healthy recipe is done in less in 30 minutes! It’s  free of corn starch, MSG and any other unhealthy “ingredients” you would normally get in your stir fry order from the restaurant. I also made it gluten free by using Tamari soy sauce.

Why make chicken and vegetables stir fry

  • One of the easiest and healthiest meals you can count on during the busy work week and if desired, you can always substitute veggies used here with the veggies of your choice.
  • With only 20 minutes of total work, it’s perfect for busy week nights!
  • Chicken is a protein staple and a great base for a low SmartPoints value dish when on Weight Watchers or any other diet!
    Easy Chicken and Vegetables Stir Fry

Make sure to prepare all of your ingredients for this chicken stir fry before you even begin to cook. Cut chicken and veggies into similarly-sized pieces to promote even cooking. To avoid crowding the pan, cook chicken first, remove from the pan and cook bell peppers next.

Broccoli cooks fast and should be added last, unless you like it really well cooked. Then add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, chili pepper and ginger. Cook for several minutes longer.Easy Chicken and Vegetables Stir Fry

I combined soy sauce and brown sugar in a bowl ahead of time to allow the sugar to melt in the sauce and then poured right in the pan at the very end.

The last step is to sprinkle with red pepper flakes. If you follow the directions, your homemade chicken stir fry will be only moderately spicy.

    The way that my latest video pops up and blocks the view is very annoying I would have followed you if not for that.

    I used shrimp instead of chicken. Can’t have chicken plus I think it’s better with shrimp. Very good.
