On weeknights, I don’t have much time to prepare elaborate meals because when I get out from my work I have to get my two boys from school, help them with their homework, take care of my sweet dog, and of our home too. That’s why I always like to have all the ingredients in the freezer to prepare a quick but also delicious meal on those busy weeknights.
Now that school is about to start I have to start planning our weekly meal plan. I always need easy and quick recipes with the right ingredients. But I don’t forget that eating clean and healthy is my family priority.

Ingredients that I used in this recipe:
Chicken Breasts

Lemon juice, salt, and pepper (for the marinade)
See, I bet that you have all (or most of all) these ingredients in your kitchen.
Do you know what is Stir-Fry?
Stir-fry is a fast and fresh way to cook. The bite-sized food is cooked on a wok with a little oil over high heat for about five minutes. Make sure the meat is in a single layer with a little space between each piece. If you’re cooking a larger amount of meat, you’ll want to work in batches to ensure the best results.
