Stir Fried Chicken and Baby Corn

This stir fried chicken and baby corn recipe is nice and easily done. It can be put together and cooked in less than half an hour! 

So you’ve got limited time or you really can’t be bothered spending time in your kitchen putting something healthy and nutritious together as a main meal, just for yourself. Well don’t compromise and reach for something unhealthy, this is the perfect stir fry for you!

Remember, stir fries are healthy when cooked with the minimal amount of necessary oils. This one only requires a couple of sprays of low fat spray to stop the chicken from sticking to the wok. Then the vegetables actually steam cook in their own juices with just the addition of the tablespoon of water. Watch not to overcook the chicken or the vegetables. You want the chicken to be perfectly moist and the vegetables to still retain their “crunchiness” and flavour.

This stir fried chicken and baby corn recipe provides you with a more than adequate daily portion of protein, enough carbs for energy, low in fat and low in calories too, so what more could you look for?
