Gather up some fresh summer vegetables, such as zucchini and tomatoes, along with fragrant basil, and make an easy dinner recipe. Stir Fry Chicken and Vegetables is bursting with the fresh flavors of summer.
Stir Fry Chicken and Vegetables
My garden is looking quite abundant these days.
Juicy red tomatoes, shiny green zucchini and fragrant leaves of basil are everywhere. I think it's time for a summer stir fry! Make it a delicious Stir Fry Chicken and Vegetables!
I love the days when I can pick fresh produce right in my own backyard and it ends up on my table in just a few minutes.
Yard to table, oh yes, that's when I'm happiest!
And on those days when it's too hot to turn on your oven, and you don't even want to fire up the grill outside, you can make a quick stove top stir fry dinner in no time at all!
Stir fry recipes are so quick and easy to put together. Add brown rice and you'll have a complete meal in just minutes.
And honestly, who wouldn't love a chicken stir-fry with fresh veggies? It's a great way to get dinner on the table quickly for the whole family.
No garden in your backyard? Just visit your local farmer's market or the produce section of your grocery store and dinner will still be fabulously delicious!
I used tomatoes and zucchini but you can personalize your stir fry vegetables with your favorites. Red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, broccoli florets, baby corn, snap peas and even snow peas will all work well in this easy recipe.
I also included sundried tomatoes for an extra boost of tomato flavor. You’re welcome!
A good stir fry brimming with lots of veggies, juicy chicken and fragrant basil is great way to make a quick and easy dinner on a warm summer evening.
