Rainbow Chicken Stir-Fry

This quick and easy rainbow chicken stir-fry is ready in less than 30 minutes and loaded with vegetables of all colors, making it a great weeknight meal.

Rainbow Chicken Stir-Fry

 

When I am in a pinch, it is stir-fry to the rescue. Why? Because you don’t need much in terms of cooking equipment and they are really speedy to prepare. Honestly, the longest part of making a stir-fry is chopping the vegetables, but nowadays you can easily buy pre-chopped veggies in any grocery store or even frozen vegetable blends. When it comes to making stir-fries tasty, it really comes down to the flavors you add. You can certainly find lots of pre-made stir-fry sauces at any grocery store but most of them are loaded with added sugars and sodium, and it is just so easy to make your own!

I used a blend of vegetables that I like in this stir-fry, but if you aren’t a fan of cabbage or mushrooms swap them out for a vegetable you prefer like bok choy, broccoli, and/or snow peas. I think chicken is a great protein to use because it cooks so quickly but shrimp or thinly sliced beef would be delicious too! To keep the recipe gluten-free I used tamari, but you could also use coconut aminos to keep it completely paleo, or soy sauce works just as well.

I like to think of this chicken stir-fry recipe as a ‘”kitchen sink” stir-fry because you can pretty much use any vegetables you have on hand, and can easily swap the chicken for red meat or seafood.

    Made a big batch and it was a hit! Very easy to whip up quickly. Kids thought the purple chicken (chicken pieces turn purple as they sit overnight with the cabbage) were cool. Thanks for another tasty recipe.
