Notes
Variations
- Change the protein. Use shrimp, pork or tofu instead of chicken.
- Swap out the veggies. Try using whichever vegetables are in season or you have on hand.
- Go nuts. Swap walnuts for cashews or peanuts for a different flavor.
- Get saucy. Use your favorite store-bought Asian dressing or stir fry sauce for an even shorter short cut!
- Vegetarian or vegan: Use a breaded vegan chicken tender substitute or use seared tofu instead, or simply omit the chicken and add extra vegetables.
