This easy chicken stir fry with vegetables packs a flavorful and nutritious punch! It comes together incredibly fast, and you can switch out veggies based on preference and time of year. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner! #easyweeknightdinner #easydinnerrecipe #chickenstirfry #veggiestirfry #eatmoredinners

Earlier this year — like millions of other Americans — I made a commitment to be healthier. Not only did I want to exercise at least 5 times a week, I also wanted to limit my sugar and carb intake. I’m a pizza and pasta gal through and through, with a side of ice cream cake for dessert!

The problem was, I struggled with what kinds of foods I would have to eat. I’ve tasted some pretty nasty stuff that is supposedly healthy for me….and it truly makes me want to cry.

I love food.

I don’t want my food to taste bad.

I don’t think it should taste bad.

So when I found this easy stir fry, I crossed my fingers that it was the veggie/protein/low-carb AND yummy tasting combo I was looking for. I wasn’t disappointed. This dish is packed with flavor and super easy to throw together! It’s pretty healthy too.

How to Make This Healthy Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry Recipe:

Step 1: In a large skillet, heat coconut oil on medium heat until melted. {I get my coconut oil on Amazon because it’s cheaper than at the store.} I did try this recipe once with butter, but I like the flavor much better with coconut oil.

Step 2: Chop chicken into bite sized pieces and add to pan. Sprinkle with half of the spices, and cook completely.

Step 3: When chicken is almost done, sprinkle onion flakes on top.

Step 4: Stir in zucchini and broccoli {or any other veggies you like}, then sprinkle with remaining spices.

Step 5: Cook another 5-7 minutes until all vegetables are tender.

Step 6: Serve alone or on top of this delicious rice recipe for a more filling meal!

    All carbs aren’t bad for you. Simple carbs, like white rice, white flour and sugar are the ones you want to limit or avoid. Complex carbs, like those found in whole grains, take longer to digest and provide fiber, which is good for digestion and also more filling. Same with fats, there are some, like those in nuts and seeds, peanut butter, and avocados that are very beneficial.

    I LOVE chicken and spices. And adding veggies will clearly make it even more yummy. Love the recipe. Will try ‘replicate’ it as soon as possible. Will probably stick to my olive oil though (or maybe try coconut oil, it won’t harm me :)).

      I don’t think olive oil would hurt the recipe so you’re probably safe. 😉

      Hmm… That’s odd Nicole. It’s showing up here! Do you mind telling me what browser and device (Mac, PC, iPhone, etc) that you are using?

    All at once, the lazy doctored method: Frozen veggies including spinach, cauliflower, and carrots filling an iron skillet, less than suggested cut up precooked chicken, same spices but double the curry and add more cloves and a tablespoon honey, substitute coconut for avocado oil, if frozen add a half cup water, mix, turn to about a 6 level heat or low boil, takes about a half hour plus stirring every 5 min or so, tastes great!

    I made this tonight and it was delish!!! I used carrots instead of zucchini (the thicker slices were still a little crunchy though) I’ve never used coconut oil before and I’m obsessed now! It gave a perfect nutty taste to the chicken. My husband loved it too and that’s saying a lot!

      Thanks for letting me know that you made it, Whitney. Joseph must be like your husband because he’s not a stir-fry guy, but he loves this recipe as well!

What’s one thing you budget for that other peopl
What’s one thing you budget for that other people might not? I always find those interesting. 😃⁣ ⁣ You might have a mortgage. I budget for campgrounds. You might want a separate clothing budget, while I’m fine combining it under “Beauty and Style.” Recently, we also added a new line item for our motorcycle—something I NEVER thought would appear in our budget. ⁣ ⁣ See, we’re all different! ⁣ ⁣ Recently, I rearranged my budget categories and created this “cheat sheet.” Sometimes I forget where things go, like picking up new wall art for the living room. Does this item belong in the categories of Household Items or Home Maintenance? 🤔⁣ ⁣ Now I know! And I save time processing receipts each Friday. 🧾⁣ ⁣ What budgeting categories do you use? Share one of your random budget line items with me in the comments below! 😃

I call 2020 the Year of Abandoned Books. ⁣ ⁣ I’m never afraid to stop reading a book if it doesn’t live up to the hype. Why invest more time in a book I’m not all that excited about when I could be exploring new authors and storylines where I can’t wait to turn the page? 🤷⁣ ⁣ But in 2020, I let more books go than I normally do. I suppose my patience dwindled when I thought the world was ending. Not that I thought the world was actually ending…but you know what I mean. 😉⁣ ⁣ As an Enneagram 1, I hate giving up on a book. I’m prone to the all-or-nothing mentality, even in my reading habits. My eyes could glaze over boring prose and I’d still repeat to myself: “You MUST finish this book!” 😫⁣ ⁣ Why? ⁣ ⁣ No one is adding a plastic star to your Book-It pin, (Remember those?) This isn’t assigned reading from your high school English class. This is YOUR reading life. ⁣ ⁣ And YOU should choose what books deserve your attention. 📚⁣ ⁣ There are too many good ones out there anyway. Like one of my favorite reads from 2020. 😍⁣ ⁣ This week’s newest blog post rounds up everything I read last year (43 books total!) including 5-star psychological thrillers, a delightful royal series, a couple self-help books, and of course, historical fiction.⁣ ⁣ Click the link in my bio to read it! ☝⁣ ⁣ What were your favorite books in 2020? Our literary styles might be a match made in heaven! ✨

My planner/journal lineup for 2021. 👆 ⁣ ⁣ These small but mighty sidekicks will be my saving grace this year. 📚⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Bullet Journal (Blue) - for everyday planning and goal setting⁣ 2️⃣ Regular Journal (Yellow) - to track gratitude (5 things a day!) and to process ALL the feelings⁣ 3️⃣ Growth Journal (Sand) - a space for me to brain dump everything I learn from books, podcasts, sermons, etc ⁣ ⁣ That last one is new to me as of this year and I can't wait to flip back through all my notes come December! 📆⁣ ⁣ What planners/journals are you using for 2021?

Self-care is just as important as making your famo
Self-care is just as important as making your famous sugar cookies this holiday season. 🍪⁣ ⁣ Because let’s be real. ⁣ ⁣ That Hallmark-esque Christmas magic disappears the moment disagreeable family members annoy you. Or when you feel irritable over too many late nights and little-to-no sleep. Or when expectations over meals and traditions and social activities fall short and leave you feeling disappointed. 😬⁣ ⁣ But instead of dwelling on these stressful moments and using them as an excuse to completely disconnect from reality (as I’m often tempted to do!), view them as an opportunity for you to respond with poise. 💞⁣ ⁣ ➕ Journal your feelings. ⁣ ➕ Go for a walk. ⁣ ➕ Prioritize what’s essential. ⁣ ➕ Remember to breathe.⁣ ➕ And try not to eat your feelings…okay?⁣ ⁣ Here’s your permission slip if you need one: You don’t need to do or participate in everything! Take a time out when you need it. 🙌⁣ ⁣ That’s the best way you can protect your emotional well-being over the next few days.⁣ ⁣ Merry Christmas, friends! 🎄


I know you’re ready for this year to be over. 🙋‍♀️ The last twelve months brought so many hard things into our lives—relationships were lost, our country became more broken and divided than ever, and oh yeah, we walked through a pandemic too. 🦠 🤯 No biggie, right? Ha! 😅 And while it’s easy to look back and wish we could skip 2020 altogether (or at least insist on a do-over), I don’t want this year to be the one where the hard overcame the good. 💕 Just as hard days don’t mean ruined days, hard years don’t mean ruined years. 2020 can still be good. 💪 For me, I want to remember the fun and exciting things we did. The adventures we had. The new shows we watched, and the books we read. The new life hacks and things I discovered that made my life easier or just brought me joy. 💞 You’ll find it all in my latest blog post (link in profile). If you still need to buy a gift for a loved one (or for yourself!), you’ll find plenty of fun and affordable ideas to fill up the rest of your gifting list. 📦 Otherwise, enjoy a stroll down the good side of 2020’s memory lane and leave your favorite things in the comments so I can try them. 👋


Pro minimalism tip: Use double-duty appliances. 🤯⁣ ⁣ With limited kitchen space, I have to be super careful about what appliances we invite into the RV. We already had an Instant Pot, Ninja Blender, and a Food Processor. But I really wanted an air-fryer! ⁣ ⁣ With no place to put it, I discovered that Instant Pot made a dual instant pot/air-fryer product. So I gave my instant pot away, and my mom bought me this one for an early Christmas present. I’ve only played with it a couple of times but I’m already in love! 💕⁣ ⁣ Kale chips...sweet potato fries...broccoli. I’m basically an air-frying queen now. And I can easily switch back to the instant pot whenever I want. Yay for two appliances in one! 🥳⁣ ⁣ Q: What is your favorite appliance to use? Is it double duty? 🤔
