I have never been someone who would choose a stir fry at a restaurant or would even think of stir fry as a dinner. When I created this quick and easy ground chicken stir fry the first time, I even looked at it questionably. I wasn’t sure I was going to like this meal but I was trying to keep an open mind. For the sake of my fitness journey and expanding my pallet, I decided I would at least try it.
Short on time? Pin it for later.
Creating the sauce was easy enough. I now have rice vinegar on hand ever since I explored making Pad Thai at home, which quickly became a family favorite. I was hesitant at first to purchase an item I thought I would only use in one recipe, but I have found it has a variety of uses in multiple recipes.
What surprised me the most the first time I served this recipe at our table was not only how much my husband liked it, and he is notorious for complaining about food that tastes “plain”, but how much my daughter enjoyed it. She is someone who strongly dislikes foods with strange and abnormal textures. She puts up a stink at any dinner that doesn’t fit what she has deemed “normal looking”. Every time I have served this up though, she’s ate everything on her plate! I also love making this dish so I have leftovers for work the next few days.
If you’re looking for a low carb option, serve the stir fry mixture over cauliflower rice and swap out the sugar for an erythritol blend. It’s absolutely delicious!
See the recipe below. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Notes
This recipe can easily substitute fresh vegetables for frozen vegetables. I am using frozen vegetables in this recipe because often times I have a bag of frozen vegetables in the freezer. They won't go bad and I don't have to worry about them being eaten in a certain time frame! To substitute fresh vegetables, cook in the pan in the same manner the frozen vegetables are, until they are tender.
I try to use a 'Thai Style' frozen vegetable, like Arctic Garden's Thai Style vegetable. I enjoy the flavor the most, but any frozen vegetable you have on hand will do.
Made this tonight! Quick, easy and delicious 🙂 I was a bit worried it would taste like ketchup but I couldn’t taste it all! Definitely going to be making this again 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it 🙂
