Chicken Stir Fry


Glenn and I are both trying to eat healthy and lose the weight we have gained since moving. Glenn is trying hard to avoid being tempted by all the delicious and free food at the hospital, so I've been making him meals that he can take to work for lunch and dinner. His favorite is stir fry. I made this last night (at midnight :) ) so he'd have it for work today. Its so yummy and inexpensive. I buy the frozen stir fry veggie mix from Walmart for around $1.60 and have tons of rice that I got for free using double coupons. Healthy, yummy, and cheap - what could be better?

3 small chicken breasts
5 cups brown rice, cooked
2 teaspoons corn starch
3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
1/2 cup water
16 oz. bad frozen veggie mix

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Bake or boil chicken until done. Set aside to cool. Cut into 1 inch cubes.

Heat wok with oil on high setting. Add frozen veggie mix. While this cooks (about 5-7 minutes), mix together the corn starch, soy sauce, and water. When veggies are done, add the chicken and then the stir fry sauce. Mix well.

Serve on brown rice.

This freezes really well, so make extra!
