Chicken, Broccoli, and Mushroom Stir Fry

This Chicken, Broccoli, and Mushroom Stir Fry come together in under 30 minutes – delicious, healthy, amazing.

Quick, easy, and delicious recipes like this Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry are a must. Especially when you wake up early and you need lunchbox meals to cook simultaneously with breakfast. This was what was in Purple and peanututter♥‘s Tuesday’s lunch boxes…

Congratulations, I made it to Thursday.

Gosh, I thought the adjustment over peanutbutter♥ going back to work would be easy as pie bu I was wrong. Being left with Twinkle, housework, and work got me drinking a couple more coffee cups than usual.I amtorn between those three tasks when at home, not to include helping Ykaie with homework at night.

Thankfully, Tita Eva comes over to look after Twinkle  in the morning and when I have to run for a quick errand but still it has left me tired and with little sleep. With losing sleep, I can only hope that I lose some weight with it as well.. haha.

Anyway, with my two loves bringing lunches to school and work, I am now forced to have a weekly menu plan or I’ll go bonkers thinking what to prepare for breakfast, baon, and dinner.

This week, I had a dry run with the weekly menu plan — and this Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry is of course included in it. I would very much like to share it with you but I think I’ll start by sharing what we had the past week. Yay! It will start this Sunday, and I’m so excited that I now have a new category here on the blog!

Let’s talk about this Chicken, Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry. I used boneless chicken breast in making it just because I have chicken breasts in the freezer. To tell you honestly, I am not a fan of chicken breast because I find the meat too dry. It’s always chicken thigh fillets for me. Sadly, when it comes to chicken thigh fillets, I can only buy it at the supermarket — my suki at the wet market doesn’t offer thigh fillets.

I’m glad that it still came out just as expected. The broccoli florets are crisp and the consistency of the sauce is just right — perfect for topping on a bowl of fluffy white rice. It’s a bit similar to the sauce of this Beef Teriyaki Stir Fry, only I used brown sugar instead of honey.

I wish there’s more time in the day so I can share our everyday food with you. Thanks for dropping in today. I really enjoyed talking to you…
