Chicken Stir Fry is one of my favorite ways to combine a ton of vegetables together and start munching away! Asian cuisines is also not on Ky’s food list- so I usually eat my Asian foods on ‘fend for yourself’ nights or when he’s working Thursday-Saturday nights. Sometimes I like to shake it up with swapping chicken for beef stew cuts. And since I am low carb, I have tried swapping rice for cauliflower. This post is a step-by-step to making chicken stir fry- plus tips to shake things up!

Proteins for Stir Fry

  • Chicken– cut some chicken breasts into strips, or use leftover rotisserie chicken. Chicken stir fry is my favorite.
  • Beef– you can buy stir fry strips, but to save on costs, you can also just cut them yourselves when you buy beef stew or boneless ribs portions.
  • Pork– cook a pork whole and soak a little in your sauce of choice.
  • Egg– add a couple scrambled eggs with the rice (or grain of choice)
  • Egg + any of the other meat options above

Optional Grains

  • Rice
  • Cauliflower “Rice”
  • Quinoa

I have a similar recipe- I used cauliflower rice, eggs and frozen peas and carrots to make Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry.

Sauces

  • Soy sauce
  • Sweet and sour

Stir Fry Veggie Blends

  • Mushrooms
  • Carrots
  • Water chestnuts
  • Bell peppers
  • Onions
