Stir Fry

Tonight we decided to do a nice big, fresh salad for dinner.  Fresh berries, chicken, cheese, and all the other fun toppings on it.  We went to Sprouts to get the most important part, the spring lettuce mix, and they didn't have any.  So...we had to scramble to come up with a dinner idea: fresh stir fry.  Since Sprouts is pretty much only fresh fruits and vegetables it took no time at all to grab our ingredients.

Ingredients:
1 Small head of broccoli flowerettes
1/4 Small onion, in big chunky pieces
2 Large carrots, cut into small, round pieces
1 Large chicken breast, cut into small pieces (grilled from yesterdays lunch...)
1 Large handful sugar or snap peas
1 Small green pepper, cut into pieces (if you want it)
1/2 Container Stir fry sauce
1 Yellow squash/zucchini (If you want it)
1 Tbsp oil
2-4 Servings of instant white or brown rice

Directions:
*Put your onion, carrot and broccoli pieces into a saucepan with 1 tablespoon oil and cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes.

*Add the chicken pieces, green pepper pieces, zucchini pieces and peas.  Continue cooking until items START to soften.  If you want your peas to still be crunchy, don't add them until about 1 minute before serving.

*Add as much stir fry sauce as you would like.  We used about half of the bottle for ours.  (Just remember, stir fry's have no exact way to be done.  Its totally up to you what kinds of vegetables you want and how much of each you want).

*Cook the rice while the rest of the food simmers.

*Once the rice is done, put a serving of it onto a plate and then put a large scoopful of the stir fry on top.

*NOTE:  You can add or take away any of the above listed ingredients.  We thought it might be good to add a handful of peanuts or cashews the next time!
