Confession #19 – After a long bout with the stomach bug from hell, I finally feel like cooking again. Yay!
I actually REALLY missed it. I’ve always loved to cook, but sharing recipes with you guys is something I look forward now almost as much as eating.
Almost.
Anyway.
Because I wasn’t ready for anything heavy, I made this light and healthy stir fry that was surprisingly delicious with just a few pantry ingredients. Totally in our rotation now especially when I need something quick and easy!
This little stir fry dinner is the perfect way to use whatever veggies you have in your fridge. I love it with anything – broccoli, asparagus, baby Bella mushrooms – whatever I have left at the end of the week that needs to get cleaned out.
And through Beachbody, I learned about Coconut Aminos
…a healthier and gluten free substitute for soy sauce. Totally fix approved and found at my local grocery store or on Amazon. Give it a try if you haven’t already – it’s packed with vitamins, minerals, and tons of amino acids while making your food taste super yummy.
I love making this with cauliflower rice for a low carb option, or brown rice or quinoa that I prepped for the freezer. And if you want to spice this up a bit, shake on some crushed red pepper or chili paste! Totally customizable, so do you!

This recipe came in clutch a couple of weeks ago when I had thawed chicken in the fridge but no idea what to do with it. I had leftover veggies that I used along with a bag of frozen broccoli and in under an hour dinner was ready and everyone loved it!

is it really 7,453mg of sodium?
Nancylynn says
Oh goodness! I don’t know what the heck was going on there. All of the nutrition facts were incorrect! It’s fixed now and calculating 401mg sodium per serving. Thank you for catching that!!
Elissa says
For the frozen Veges did you cook them from frozen in the
Skillet.
If you added the cauliflower rice would you just add in from frozen
Norelle says
Hi what are coconut aminos counted as? Thanks!
Nancylynn says
Hi! Coconut Aminos is free 🙂
Chelsea says
This was incredibly delicious! The fresh ginger really finished it. I’m not eating any sugar or soy and this recipe did not disappoint. Thank you!
Nancylynn says
That’s so great, Chelsea! Yay!
Jessice says
So you cooked your chicken first and then added it to the cooked veggies? And did you season your chicken with anything or did you just dice it up and cook it in the pan before the veggies?
Nancylynn says
Yes! I cooked it, then removed it from the pan. After I everything is back together and warm, then I season!
Julie says
When cooking did you use 1 green container of vegetables and 1 red container of chicken
Nancylynn says
I’m sorry – this recipe totally needs updating! I used 4 green and 4 red to make enough for my family!
