Versatile Stir Fry

One of my favorite dishes growing up was Beef and Snow-peas. I asked for it every birthday for YEARS. This chicken stir fry with broccoli, water chestnuts, and snow peas is an easy weeknight option. Plus, one of the best parts about the recipe is that it really works for multiple proteins or vegetables and results in an amazing stir-fry every time. Check it out!

Ingredients 

1 lb protein (I used boneless, skinless chicken breast cubed) 

1/4 C Soy sauce 

1 Tbs. Corn starch 

1 Tbs. Dry cooking sherry 

1 tsp. Sugar 

2 Tbs. Olive oil

1/4 lb. Snow peas 

1 can Water chestnuts, sliced, drained

2 C. Broccoli florets, fresh and steamed in microwave 

Directions 

Mix soy sauce, corn starch, sherry, and sugar until well mixed. Combine marinade and protein, allow to marinade for at least 2 hours (4-6 is best). 

Heat olive oil to medium-high heat. Add protein and cook until almost almost cooked through. Steam broccoli florets, drain water chestnuts, and prep snow peas while meat is cooking. Once the meat is mostly cooked through add the veggies and allow to cook for another 5 minutes in order to incorporate marinade flavor.

Serve over rice and enjoy.

Remember, this recipe is INCREDIBLY versatile. I have made it with thinly sliced flank steak and you could really incorporate any vegetables you like. I hope this recipe makes it into your rotation for a try.
