This is one of my all time favorite lunch recipes! I always fill the saute pan and make enough for a couple days! I’ve never really shared this recipe before, because to me it’s so simple, but others may not think of making a chicken and vegetable stir fry without the rice. Many stir fry recipes are fabulous without the rice, and will work great for the Whole30 recipes and menus I’m following this month.

In real life, most of the time when I make this chicken vegetable stir fry recipe I just throw in any vegetables I have on hand. Some other veggies I sometimes add include: yellow or zucchini squash, leeks, spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, you get the idea! I guarantee you won’t miss the rice!
