Frugal Recipes Michelle's Meals on a Budget Stir-Fry Chicken and Vegetables A quick and easy healthy meal that the kids will usually eat, and it's cheap too! * * * Ingredients: 1 package boneless chicken breasts, about 4 pieces (buy it only when on sale!) 1 family-size bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables, we like the pre-seasoned Chinese blend (the one with peapods and water chestnuts, and we even add a can of more water chestnuts) 1 T. vegetable oil Rice, white or brown Water, to cook the rice Directions: * Begin cooking rice, per package directions. If you use the regular long-grain kind it will be ready in about 20 minutes. (You can buy the huge bag of regular white rice, store-brand, when your budget is the tightest. But when it gets better, switch to brown rice, it's a lot healthier - and my kids barely notice the difference using it in this dish.) * Rinse chicken and cut into bite-size pieces. Brown in a non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, until cooked well. (Adding any seasons desired, especially if the veggies come unseasoned. And depending on your pan, you may be able to cook the chicken without any added oil. But add some if you need it, or use cooking-spray.) * Add cooked chicken into veggies and simmer 5 minutes to blend well, stirring occasionally. * Remove chicken and veggies from pan and serve over warm rice.
