Chicken Stir Fry for Lunch!

I'm pretty sure this is going to replace my frozen meals. As I mentioned in my last post, me and my (hopefully) future sister-in-law made salmon and chicken stir fry last night with leftover broccoli slaw, shredded carrots and frozen green beans. I had it again today for lunch and I feel SO full! I'm not a nutritional calculator expert, but I can't fathom how this wouldn't be good for me.

Today's recipe:

1 can of chicken
handful of broccoli slaw
handful of shredded carrots
handful of frozen green beans

I took a medium skillet, put approximately two tablespoons of olive oil in it (I;m one of those who rarely use actual measuring spoons or cups), then dumped all the ingredients in there. Sprinkled some Cajun and Caribbean Jerk seasonings on top, mixed together over medium-high heat for awhile and done.



My thought is that I can slowly start adding more veggies to this mix. Maybe some broccoli sprouts...and snap peas...and, if I get REALLY daring...some peppers.

This definitely has less sodium than a normal frozen meal and I can't imagine where a lot of calories would come from. Regardless, I got to eat a much bigger bowl of this, which made me much fuller, which meant I wasn't wandering around the kitchen on my lunch break trying to figure out what else I could cook to make me not snack all afternoon at work!
