Stir Fry Chicken and Vegetables. Chicken bites sautéed in garlic and stir fry sauce with cabbage, peppers, and onions.
Welcome to the second recipe in our Chicken Stir Fry series of recipes. In this version, Stir Fry Chicken and Vegetables, we are using cabbage, peppers, and onions to change up this dish. This recipe is a subtle change, as the first version of this recipe calls for broccoli and carrots. However, a small change like this really does make a completely different dish and eating experience.

You can really add any vegetables you like to this recipe. One thing to consider, cut your vegetables in a similar fashion so they take the same amount of time to cook. I am serving this recipe with brown rice, however, I have also served this dish with roasted potatoes, quinoa, and couscous. Basically, any grain or potato would be a great companion for this dish.
