It’s hard to imagine being able to get more vegetables in a dish than this Chinese Chicken Stir Fry recipe. It has 8 different vegetables, has a healthy dose of ground chicken, and loaded with flavor.
Trader Joe’s sells this the ‘Healthy 8 chopped veggie mix’. In it is broccoli, carrots, green cabbage, red cabbage, jicama, green bell pepper, radish, and celery.
I sometimes make this dish with bok choy, but if you can get your hands on this mix…do it! You won’t be disappointed 🙂
This dish not only tastes good, but is pleasing on the eyes too!
YUMMY!
Tools I used in this recipe:
