Stir Fry

This was SO GOOD!  We had this for Father's Day & we enjoyed it so much that we made it again for my birthday a couple weeks later :)

Stir Fry


2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thawed & cut into bite-sized pieces)

garlic, to taste (I used 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic)

6 carrots, peeled & cut into bite-sized pieces

6 stalks of celery, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 C. broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 C. cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 onion, cut

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 green bell pepper, cut into strips

pea pods, cut in half (I used about 1/4 to 1/2 lb. and I also cut of the little stem ends, but you don't have to)

1 small cabbage, cut into bite-sized pieces

juice of 1/2 of a lemon (I used the bottled lemon juice)

3 Tbsp. water

3 Tbsp. cornstarch (mix together with water in a small bowl)

soy sauce, to taste (I used about 7 Tbsp.)

garlic powder, to taste (I just sprinkled some in)



Cook chicken with garlic & a little bit of oil in a large pan or Wok if you have one (I just got this one for my birthday at Walmart for $30 & it worked great!).  Remove chicken & set aside.  Cook carrots & celery on medium heat for a few minutes, stirring every so often throughout the whole process of cooking the stir fry.  Then add in broccoli & cauliflower & cook for a few minutes.  Add in onion & bell peppers & cook for a few minutes.  Then add in pea pods & cabbage & cook for a few minutes.  Add in chicken.  Then add in lemon juice & cornstarch/water mixture.  Add in soy sauce & garlic powder.  Serve over rice or noodles (we like ours with brown rice).





*All of the measurements for the vegetables are approximates--you can do as much as you want or different kinds of vegetables too!



*The cooking time is also just an estimate--cook it for a shorter amount of time if you like your vegetables a little crunchy or cook it for longer if you like them soft.
