Whenever I need a quick dinner I turn to stir frys. As you may know, this seems to be quite often as I have a lot of stir frys on the blog! A lot of which you all seems to love such as Spicy Beef, Snow Peas, Mushroom, and Carrot Stir Fry, Chicken, Green Bean & Mushroom Stir Fry, and Caribbean Pork Stir Fry.
We recently moved to a new home and in the midst of unpacking we needed to stop and have dinner. The nerve, having to eat during the middle of unpacking! LOL! So I turned to the refrigerator and found some chicken breasts just begging to be turned into a fabulous meal.
Using vegetables that I already had, mushrooms and broccoli, made the ingredient list. Now for a sauce. A simple use of garlic sounded really good and easy to pull together with pantry items, so Garlic Chicken Stir Fry was born!
This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal when you want to make something quick. 20 minutes is all you need to have a great meal on the table that is 1000x better than take out! If you make stir frys then you will most likely have all the ingredients on hand. I love being able to pull together stir frys in a snap, changing up the vegetables and sauce. Have a stocked pantry makes this really east to accomplish.
Juicy tender chicken breast chunks are browned and coupled with crisp vegetables, and cashews. All of this is then bathed in a warm garlic sauce that flavors all the ingredients and brings this all together.
Enjoy!
