No… more… candy! Halloween is tons of fun, and it’s a treat to feast on sweets, but enough is enough! When your family is done with the trick-or-treating, you can turn to Zaycon Fresh for some healthier eating options.
And there are few meals healthier than those based around chicken and vegetables. The fact that stir-fry cooking is about as easy as it gets? Well, that’s just some icing on the cake. Sorry, sorry: yet another sweet reference…
If you’re looking for a light meal that’s ready in minutes, prep this recipe as-is and enjoy. If you and the family need some extra hearty portions, serve it over a bed of rice or with your favorite noodles. Either way, it won’t take much more than half an hour start to finish for you to prep, cook, and serve this anything-but-sweet, totally delicious meal. (And keep in mind you can always use reduced sodium soy sauce and broth if you want!)
