One of my favorite things about this new Cooking with Chris series is showing just how simple home cooking can be.
In this episode, Chris and I turned leftover rotisserie chicken into a quick stir-fry dinner packed with colorful vegetables and protein. This is one of those easy meals that feels wholesome, tastes amazing, and helps make the most of what you already have.
The combination of bell peppers, broccoli, frozen mixed vegetables, and tender chicken makes this recipe super versatile. The homemade stir-fry sauce adds just the right balance of savory, sweet, and a little warmth from the ginger.
For the bariatric lifestyle, this recipe works beautifully because you can:
- focus on the chicken first for protein
- load up on the veggies
- serve over cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option
- use it for meal prep leftovers
It’s budget-friendly, family-friendly, and beginner-friendly—which made it the perfect recipe for Chris to learn.
I hope this inspires you to turn simple ingredients into something delicious for your family too.
