Spicy Chicken Stirfry

May 9, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for you a recipe that I make a lot!  I never shared it with you because normally it’s a quick dinner and when I make this I just want to eat and not calculate calories and measurements.  Well today, I thought why not share it with you, after all most of us like to have a quick healthy meal that can be done in under 3o minutes.  So today I am sharing with you my Spicy Chicken Stir Fry.
Spicy Chicken Stir Fry
This stir fry is made with fresh vegetables, chicken and topped with a slightly spicy sauce that is served over a bed of brown rice. I just love it and oddly enough, even being spicy, my family loves it too. It’s probably one of my all time healthy dinners that they will eat without argument. So in my eyes this is a true win win recipe.
Spicy Chicken Stir Fry
This meal is also a little bit of a cheat meal with the vegetables. I used Trader Joe’s fresh Asian Vegetables that is found in the produce section. It’s filled with ginger, onion, peppers, carrots, mushrooms, snap peas and peppers. I love it and I have been known just to stir fry the vegetables and eat that as a dinner. I do that when I am craving vegetables. For the meat I just cut up my chicken and I cooked it in a little bit of sesame oil. The dinner takes like 20 minutes to make total. Oh and one more cheat, I use Trader Joe’s frozen organic brown rice. Just 3 minutes in the microwave and it’s done. See what I mean about a quick meal? You just have to love when you can cheat!
Spicy Chicken Stir Fry
I got the sauce idea from PF Changs. You know the sauce that they make at the table? I kind of made the same type of thing with my sauce. I used lite soy sauce, chili paste, distilled vinegar, garlic and peanut butter. You don’t really taste the peanut butter, but it makes it nice and thick and it’s a healthy fat. I didn’t want to add oil to the sauce. When the chicken was cooking I just whipped together the sauce. I just love it. Want it more spicier? Just add more chili paste. If it’s to spicy just add more vinegar. The vinegar cools it down. The sauce would also be great over an Asian Salad.

  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • ⅓ cup onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 lbs. chicken, breast, skinless, boneless, cut into bite size pieces
  • 6 cups Asian Stir Fry Vegetables (I used Trader Joe's fresh vegetables)

  • ½ tbsp. chili pepper paste (add more to make spicier)
  • 1 tsp. garlic, minced
  • ½ tbsp. distilled vinegar

Spicy Chicken Stir Fry
You just have to love quick meals. The sauce is so good! I tend to have a little thing for spicy sauce and throw in peanut butter and it’s pure love! Yum!!!  Oh and I used sriracha for more spice.  Speaking of sriracha sauce, there is a new sriracha sauce called Midori Green Sriracha, sold by N.Y.-based Musahi foods they have a new green sauce.  From what I understand it is like a chimichurri sauce.  I am looking so forward to trying it!  Here is the link from Huffington Post.

Do you have a quick favorite meal that you like to whip together? If you do, please share. I’m always looking for new ideas.

Have a super fab day!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Do the nutrition facts include the rice or is it just for the stir-fry

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree. 
🍒
What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
