Don’t feel like watching the video? No worries. Here are the steps to make your very own lazy-healthy chicken stir fry:
1. Lightly coat 2 sautee pans with extra virgin olive oil and turn your burners up to medium heat.
2. While those are coming up to heat, marinate your chicken with some soy/tamari sauce, sriracha, red chili flakes, and garlic. Lightly toss that around so that it coats each piece.
3. When your pans are up to temperature, toss the chicken, marinade and all into the pan, spreading it evenly so that each piece cooks on one side for about a minute.
4. Toss your veggies into the other pan with some soy/tamari sauce and sriracha. Cover with a lid or poor man’s lid (cookie sheet).
5. After a minute of the chicken cooking on one side, flip each piece so that it can cook for a minute on the other side.
6. When your chicken is just about cooked through, turn off the heat under the chicken.
7. Remove the lid from your veggies (with an oven mitt if you’re using a cookie sheet please!), and toss your chicken in as well as your cashews. Mix thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes, tossing every 30 seconds or so.
8. Serve it up and pat yourself on the back! You just cooked up a delightfully healthy meal in less than 15 minutes!
