Chicken Stir Fry


hello wonderful world of internet people whomever you are, wherever you are. I made a chicken stir fry tonight, my first to be honest with you but definatley not my last!!


What you will need:

6 Chicken tenders
Fresh Green beans cut medium sized (you could do canned but then the beans will be soggy)
about 1/2 a regular bag of baby carrot sticks sliced 
1 onion diced (by now you guys know I love my onions I am sure)
1 garlic shallot diced
1/2 box of angel hair (lo mein would have been better or rice but my husband wanted noodles and its all I had in my cupboard)
3 to 4 Tablespoons of soy sauce
1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
1/4 cup of olive oil

What to do:
  1. take a large skillet out and pour olive oil in it, let it get to a good simmer
  2. Put Chicken tenders in and cook till they are mostly fully cooked
  3. Bring water in a pan to a boil and cook angel hair or whatever pasta your using
  4. Pour soy sauce in, with onions, carrots, green beans, and garlic
  5. allow to simmer on a medium low heat till all veggies look cooked but not soggy
  6. add scoop of brown sugar and stir, at this point you should be able to pull the chicken tenders apart to smaller pieces and get it mixed in very well
  7. strain your pasta if you haven't already
  8. cook for another 3 minutes 
  9. put pasta on a plate, serve stir fry over the pasta
*If you feel the soy sauce isn't strong enough let it be, and serve your meal with soy sauce on the table, some people love a strong soy sauce flavor while others only want a hint, its better to have less than more of soy sauce in this recipe 

This meal was so husband approved that there were no leftovers left, and he ate quite a bit of veggies!!!

2 Ingrediant Chicken Tenders


We all have those days where we just can't get the energy up to make supper, so you open your cupboard pull out some random things and hope for the best. That was me today.... after battling what felt like my body being run over by a truck I finally managed to get myself together, run a couple errands and come back just in time to make supper (what a joy) so what did I make? 2 ingrediant chicken tenders with instant creamy chicken flavored rice (I try not to use instant foods to often as its not the healthiest but hey, we all have those days). So here is the recipe for 2 ingrediant Chicken tenders:



What You'll Need:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenders (I get hormone Free, organic tenders)
- 1 packet of Ranch Dip Seasonings
- Olive Oil (you could use butter, or veg. Oil but Olive I find to be a healthy alternative)

What to Do:

  1. Heat skillet with olive oil just enough to cover the bottom
  2. pour ranch seasoning into a container
  3. dip chicken tenders in seasoning
  4. stick chicken tenders into skillet
  5. cook each side for about 10 minutes or so, use your judgement each person's stove is different
  6. Eat and Enjoy
This recipe is by no means state of the art, but it was satisfying and as my husband said it was fulfilling to where your not hungry but it didn't make your stomach sink. So it's a husband approved recipe!!! 

Leftover Recommendation: Make a yummy fresh salad tomorrow for lunch and take apart the chicken thats left!!!
