Midweek Meal Idea: Speedy Chicken & Vegetable Stir Fry

I thought I'd do something a bit different today and share a quick, healthy and tasty recipe of mine with you. A great meal idea for when you're in a rush, this delicious chicken and vegetable stir fry has zero preparation time, and is ready in under 10 minutes.

 

Here's what you will need:

 

1. A pack of chicken breast mini fillets or diced chicken breast

2. A pack of mixed stir fry veg - my favourite is Asda's Fresh Tastes Water Chestnut and Bamboo Stir Fry Mix

3. Soy sauce

4. Dried minced garlic

5. Dried crushed chili flakes

5. Chinese 5 spice

6. Olive oil

 

 

And here's the recipe:

 

1. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan and brown the chicken on a high heat for around 5 minutes.

2. Drain off any excess oil, then add a sprinkle of minced garlic, chili and Chinese 5 spice with a dash of soy sauce. Leave for a further minute for the flavours to infuse.

3. Add the vegetables and a generous amount of soy sauce

4. Add another sprinkle of garlic, chili and Chinese 5 spice to taste

5. Stir fry for 2 minutes

6. Serve and enjoy

 

This stir fry is definitely up there amongst my favourite meal ideas. The chili gives it a nice kick and the flavours from the Chinese 5 spice really absorb into the chicken, giving it a lovely contrasting cinnamon-y taste that works really well against the spicy chili and the salty soy sauce.
