Lazy High Protein Stir-Fry

Print Recipe

A delightful and nourishing stir-fry packed with protein, colorful vegetables, and whole grains, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup zucchini, chopped
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or juice from 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional seasonings: garlic, ginger, herbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Wash and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cut your proteins into similar-sized chunks for even cooking.
  2. Heat the olive oil: Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat, allowing the oil to warm up for a couple of minutes.
  3. Cook the proteins: Add the lean proteins to the pan. Sauté until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the vegetables: Toss in your chopped vegetables. Stir and cook until they soften but still retain a slight crunch, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the whole grains: Mix in your pre-cooked grains, stirring until everything is heated through and well combined.
  6. Season to taste: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices.
  7. Finish with a drizzle: Top with a splash of soy sauce or a squeeze of fresh citrus juice right before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: You can prep the veggies and proteins ahead of time, storing them in airtight containers.
