Cheap and Easy Chicken Stir Fry

This may be the cheapest, easiest recipe I’ve put on this blog in the history of this blog. Cheap and easy chicken stir fry. Is it healthy? Check. Is it cheap? Extremely. Is it easy? The easiest stir fry you will ever make. Not that stir fry is a difficult thing to cook.

I found that at my local veggie stand they sell bagged stir fry veggies for $2.50 – it’s just a ziploc bag full of chopped carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, bell peppers, and celery. This definitely saved a lot of money in the long run rather than purchasing each veggie separately, so I highly suggest checking out your local farmer’s market to see if they carry a similar selection of stir-fry veggies.
