Chicken stir fry


DSC08360


Easy Chicken and Veggie Stir-Fry
Serves 3-4
Ingredients
  • 4 thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts (you could also use two regular chicken breasts, but cooking time may need to be adjusted)
  • Seasoned salt (to coat chicken breasts)
  • 2 & 1/2 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 2 tsp Tony Chachere’s creole seasoning
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts in greased baking dish and sprinkle with seasoned salt. (I don’t measure this out, I just sprinkle it on the tops of the chicken breasts.) Place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes.
Approximately 15 minutes before chicken is done cooking, add olive oil, garlic, onion, and red and green bell pepper to large skillet and cook on medium high heat for about 10 minutes until onions start to caramelize. Add mushrooms and broccoli and cook for another five minutes.
Slice cooked chicken into bite sized pieces and add to skillet with creole seasoning. Simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve. You can eat over shredded cauliflower for a rice substitute or alone.
