Chicken, Broccoli and Snap Peas Stir Fry
Why have I not been making stir fry my entire life??
I am always whining that I want to make a quick and easy meal, but never making the one quick and easy meal that everyone has pretty much already mastered.
Everyone except for me that is.
It's a long time coming, but here it is!
My favorite thing about this Chicken, Broccoli and Snap Peas Stir Fry recipe is that I have all of the ingredients in my house at all times! Like, no exceptions. Except for maybe the snap peas. But if you don't want to put those in, or if you don't have them in the fridge, just leave them out!
Now that I have been experimenting with stir fry, I have realized how forgiving they are. And how I want to make them every day.
And to think. Before this, I was buying take-out stir fry like a sucker. Now that I know how easy it is to make, I should probably rethink what I spend money on. Sometimes I surprise myself when I realize how self reliant I can be.
If you are looking for another great stir fry recipe, might I suggest this Shrimp Stir Fry recipe?
I am definitely never buying stir fry from now on, when it is so dang easy to make at home!
