Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry with Asian Tahini Sauce
Stir Frys are great because not only can they be made in one pan for easy clean up but it’s a great way to use up the vegetables that have been sitting in your fridge. To make this even quicker and easier, you could use a variety of your favorite frozen vegetables.
Also, if you’re someone who likes their stir fry served over rice, cook up a batch of cauliflower rice for the perfect compliment!
