Stirs frys are sensational, and the lean protein from the chicken and the healthy carbs from the vegetables help me to feel full without over eating. Pull up a chair to get more ideas on how to make fun and healthy chicken stir fries.
Use a cutting board to cut up two chicken breasts into small bite size pieces. If you are vegetarian you can use tofu in place of chicken as I demonstrated in a previous hub. I prefer to buy a frozen package of chicken because I am unable to eat an entire tray of chicken before the expiration date. In the past to save money I have bought a fresh tray of chicken breast and then froze the individual pieces when I got home. There are 120 calories in a four ounce serving of chicken breast, but only 35 for these calories come from fat. In total a four ounce serving of chicken breast constitutes about five percent of your daily alloted fat intake according to the FDA, so lean meats such as chicken breast are a good source of protein for those concerned about high fat foods. Saute the chicken breast by drizzling a little bit of olive oil in the pan. Olive oil has 120 calories per tablespoon serving and all of these calories come from fat, but this is a healthy form of fat when used in moderation. Use a restricted amount if you are concerned about calories and fat.
