Chicken Stir Fry or Teryaki Bowls Mmmm...

This recipe turned out so so so yummy... My husband ate 3 servings and took the leftovers for lunch the next day and my son actually ate his veggies! So try it out!

(Same recipe for both until last step! Works with beef or chicken)

Grocery List -

• Chicken (10-13 tenders)

5. Also once that is started warm up and cook your stir fry vegetables in pan with a little olive oil. ( I get the organic stir fry mix from fresh and easy)
6. Once all is completed then just combine and serve. You can keep it a stir fry by just adding the extra liquid from the chicken or, add Teryaki sauce to make it a Teryaki bowl! Both so yummy! Enjoy!
