Healthy Teriyaki Chicken Wok

This dish is super easy to make and you can use whatever vegetables you have at home. Remember - make a lot so that you can bring it to work the next day :)

Teriyaki Chicken Wok 
Makes 4 servings


 Use whatever vegetables you have at home, I used:

1 zucchini
15 baby bell peppers
1 head of broccoli
1/2 medium sized red onion
10 spears of asparagus
2 chicken breasts
Teriyaki sauce (try to find a low sodium sauce)
Soy sauce (optional)
Hot sauce (optional)

For best result: marinate the chicken in Teriyaki sauce for about an hour before cooking but if you don't have the time you can just add the sauce to the chicken while it cooks.

1. Cut the chicken in 1 inch cubes and cook on a medium heat, when done remove from the pan.
2. Cut the vegetables in pieces, make sure to remove the seeds from the bell peppers.
2. Add onion and asparagus to the pan and cook on a medium heat for a few minutes (note that wok vegetables should be a bit crispy so you don't want to overcook them).
3. Add the rest of the vegetables to the pan with the onions and the asparagus and cook on a medium/high heat for a few more minutes until crisp. make sure to stir constantly.
4. Add the chicken to the vegetables and mix together Now you can add more Teriyaki sauce, soy sauce and hot sauce (if desired) directly in the pan while cooking.
5. Serve! If you feel like there are carbs missing in this dish serve it with some brown rice.
