Healthy Chicken Stir Fry
Whether you’re in the midst of a renovation (like me), hangry and need food now, or just short on time this quick and easy healthy chicken stir fry has you covered.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have noticed that the past few weeks have been a renovation craze. We’re redoing our kitchen and not only is it a lot of work, but it completely disrupts everyday life.
I had this crazy idea that I would still be able to make it work, cook, and keep up with my normal routine while this was happening.
Oh younger and naive me…
It was a lot harder than what I thought it would be. I was on the right track, I used a portable induction cooktop for a few things but the chaos consumed me and we ate out more often that what I care to admit.
Things are also done and put back in place, but my routine has still yet to get back to normal. I did my best to eat healthy, but I usually needed something last minute and quick, which is how this healthy chicken stir fry came to be.
Healthy Chicken Stir Fry
As in all my chicken recipes, this recipe uses chicken that has been raised by a Canadian farmer. This means the chicken I purchase from the store has been raised in an environment with national set and mandated standards for food safety and animal care.
If you’re like 80% of Canadians who would like to see a mark that indicates that the chicken we eat is raised by a registered Canadian chicken farmer and that means the strict standards, look for the raised by a Canadian farmer logo that you see in the above photo.

A stir fry is my favourite dinner, and it doesn’t hurt that it is so quick and simple.
I love that the seasoning doesn’t require a whole lot of ingredients! I’m definitely going to try this the next time I make stir fry!
The dish is attractive from the outside and inside it is also very nutritious.
