EASY CHICKEN STIR FRY

I used broccoli, red bell pepper, and snow peas but you can certainly sub out for anything that you love or have on hand. I steamed them until tender then set the veggies aside. The chicken is simple as well, I cut chicken breasts into large pieces then tossed in a bit of lightly seasoned flour and cooked a little bit of oil until golden. I just love that this whole meal comes together in one good-sized wok {or skillet if you don’t have}.

Easy Chicken Stir Fry is! The sauce is one I've used many times and is perfection in this recipe. Tender chicken, steamed vegetables, and noodles all tossed together with an incredible sauce... dinner perfection.

The sauce has just a slight sweetness to it that perfectly balances out the salty of the soy sauce. You simply whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ground ginger and crushed red pepper if you’d like {i left it out this time because of the kiddos}. As soon as that sauce hits the wok…oh the wonderful aroma fills the air.
