Chicken & Vegetable Stir-fry



This is one of my go-to recipes when I need to use up vegetables.  It is super simple and very quick to make.  You can use whatever vegetables that you like in your stir-fry.  The stir-fry I made for the picture included green beans, bell peppers, onions, and celery.

Sesame Chicken & Vegetable Stir-fry (2-3 servings)

6-9 oz cooked chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 lb vegetables of your choice, cut into bite-size pieces
2 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp low-sodium teriyaki sauce
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
3/4 tsp sesame seeds
2 tsp sesame oil
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
Dash pepper
2-3 servings of cooked rice

I usually prepare the rice and allow it to cook while I am chopping the vegetables and cooking the stir-fry.

Preheat oil in a 12" saute pan or wok.  Saute the chicken and vegetables for 5 minutes.  Add the remaining ingredients and cook 1-2 more minutes.

The recipe can be doubled or tripled (or as much as your saute pan or wok will allow).

Serve over rice.
