March 4, 2025

This healthy chicken stir-fry is packed with flavor and has an array of fresh vegetables bursting with vibrant colors and nutritious benefits.

Stir-frying is a traditional Chinese cooking method. This recipe consists of two parts: first, marinated chicken breasts are stir-fried. Next, the cooked chicken is set aside, and the vegetables are stir-fried. Finally, the chicken is mixed back in, and a delicious stir-fry sauce is added that thickens and enhances the flavor of the entire dish.
