Quick & Easy Stir Fry!

Thursday was a pretty good day.  Worked out in the morning doing Insanity that I was suppose to do Wednesday but didn't. Kind of like two workouts because it was pure cardio and then cardio abs. After the workouts I had me a nice green smoothie. Then later that day I learned I need to start using more variety in my smoothies. Switching up by using different greens and even different fruits. If you are a green smoothie drinker, read more here!


I've started adding applesauce to my smoothies. Just something to share.

Later that evening I was suppose to do Thursday's Insanity workout but decided against it. I did go out for a walk with my running group. I decided to walk instead of run because I didn't want to irritate my knee. It ended up being a nice 2 mile walk!





On my way home, stopped by Publix to get some zucchini's for dinner and ended up getting broccoli (normally $2.50 & on sale for $1 - STEAL!) and just my luck they were giving out sushi samples (yummy!) andddd I brought me a powerball ticket and also got a fantasy five ticket for the free! Someone left their ticket. Finders Keepers! I haven't checked but I could be a typing millionaire right now!



I had decided before I left for my walk that I wanted to try making zucchini noodles with my new mandolin slicer and then adding it into a chicken and veggie stir fry. I already had chicken (made about 5 chicken breast the other day to use the rest of this week) so I took out my lovely wok and went to work. Nevertheless it was yummy. Here is the recipe for those who care!

Quick & Easy Stir Fry 


Ingredients

8 oz of grilled chicken breast or tenderloins
1 large zucchini
2-4 cups of broccoli
1-2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables
1 - 2 tbsp of barbecue sauce
1 - 2 tbsp of soy sauce
Chinese stir fry seasoning or seasoned the way you want :)
Coconut oil (or oil of choice - spray works fine as well)


Directions

First grill the chicken breast, cut into small pieces, and set aside.

Using a mandolin or julienne slicer, slice the zucchini into thin noodle like slices.


Likely grease your Wok (other pans such as a frying pan would work as well) with the oil and heat up on stove top on medium to high heat. Add in zucchini, broccoli, and mixed vegetables. Feel free to add in other vegetables but these are what I had on hand! Season vegetables with seasoning as well as add in half of barbecue sauce and half soy sauce. Stir.


Let vegetables cook stirring occasionally.

After vegetables start to soften a bit add in the chicken, the rest of the soy sauce and barbecue sauce. Let cook until vegetables are as tender as you like them to be. Enjoy!
