Flavorful Stir Fry Packed with Protein
I could live off stir fry (and cookies, of course)! And this Sweet and Spicy Stir fry is one of my absolute favorite meals and I make it ALL the time! It’s healthy, flavorful, packed with protein, loaded with veggies, filling, satisfying and absolutely fabulous! The perfect meal, in my opinion!

I just got back from a food blogger’s conference where I indulged my way through Miami so I was in need of a big stir fry once I got home! I love making this stir fry on a Monday and eating it all throughout the week for lunch and dinner and even a late breakfast when I just can’t curb my craving ’til lunch…I’m obsessed!
It’s easy to make and so full of flavor and freshness!
It’s easy to make and my whole family loves it! Feel free to substitute the chicken with pork or shrimp, and mix-up the veggies with whatever you have on hand, and if you’re family just doesn’t like brown rice for some reason, use white rice. Make it your own and you’ll find yourself craving this healthy homemade stir fry over greasy take-out even when you’re too tired to cook!

I really wish you would post nutritional value to your recipes. Ron
Hi Ron! I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients which often have differing nutritional values. I would recommend plugging the ingredients you use into a free online recipe nutrition calculator like: https://whisk.com/recipe-nutrition-calculator/ Hope this helps. Enjoy!
