Easy 4-Item Chicken Stir Fry

Easy Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

Okay. I say "4-Item," because I cheat. I admit it. When I can buy a single package of prepared stir fry veggies in the Kroger produce section, I do it. I'm counting my cellophane-wrapped veggies as 1 item. So there. :)

Here's what you need:

Stir fry veggies (broccoli, carrots, onion, and bell peppers)
2 chicken breasts
1 bottle La Choy Stir Fry Sauce
Soy sauce

Cooking oil
Wok or large skillet


Chicken Stir Fry Ingredients

Slice chicken breasts horizontally, cover with plastic wrap, then pound chicken out to approx 1/4 inch thickness.

Heat wok or skillet to med-high heat. Cut the thin chicken breast into small strips (approx 1x1" pieces), and add 2 tbsp cooking oil before placing chicken into skillet.

Homemade, Skillet Beef Stroganoff

Homemade Beef Stroganoff

I originally pinned this recipe for crock pot beef stroganoff, but I immediately noticed 2 things:
1. I would need to cut down on the measurements (I'm cooking for two), and
2. my schedule does not permit for the slow cooker or crock pot.

I decided to try my own version, using Heather's Bytes' recipe as my basis. The results? Rich, creamy, better-than-the-box beef stroganoff.

Get started with:

1 lb hamburger meat, seasoned, browned, and drained
1 can Golden Mushroom Soup - do not substitute!
1/2 can beef broth
4oz (1/2 bag) of No Yolks Egg White Dumplings noodles
4oz (1/2 block) cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream

3 quart pot
skillet
small bowl

Keep browned meat on medium-low heat, and add noodles to boiling, salted water.
