This chicken vegetable stir fry is so simple and delicious. This meal is pretty low on calories but still very filling. We love making extra to leave some for leftovers the next day.
We always make this stir fry with zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, and onion, but you can definitely add in any veggies you prefer. I love adding in baby corn if I have the macros for it. We typically serve this over cauliflower rice, but if you are looking to add in more carbs it’s super easy to sub in some quinoa or brown rice instead.
I make this using the Knorr brand Cubed Chicken Bouillon. I have tried using just straight up chicken broth instead, but I just prefer the flavor of the bouillon cubes more. This recipe also calls for 2 tbs butter and garlic, I recently tried this using just some garlic butter instead and that is delicious as well. The garlic butter is actually less fat per serving too so that’s a plus.
The crunchy chow mein noodles are optional, but give this easy stir fry a nice crunch. When I run out of my Crunchy Chow Mein.
