Spaghetti Squash Stir Fry with Chicken is one of my favorite, clean-eating weeknight meals. It is packed with vegetables and protein from the chicken and the flavor of this homemade stir fry sauce never disappoints.
WHAT GOES IN THIS STIR FRY RECIPE?
This low-carb weeknight dinner recipe couldn't be any easier. It calls for the below.
- Spaghetti Squash, roasted
- 4-5 cups of your favorite stir fry veggies
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Stir Fry Sauce
- Peanuts, sesame seeds or green onions to top (optional)
When it comes to a stir fry veggie blend, I love buying the Costo Kirkland Stir Fry Vegetable Blend. You can also just buy whatever veggies you like in your stir fry, slice them up and make it fresh. Some veggies I love to include are broccoli, peas, carrots, onions and water chestnuts.
