Introduction to Asian Stir Fry with Chicken
This one pot meal is made with chicken breast and an amazing assortment of healthy vegetables ranging from broccoli to bok choy, mushrooms, and zucchini. It’s a Chinese food copycat recipe that’s also incredibly healthy and easy to make, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
What Makes This Recipe Special
This Asian Stir Fry with Chicken and Broccoli is one of the numerous healthy entree recipes found in Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry. The recipe uses coconut oil for sautéing, although olive oil works just as well, and includes high-protein chicken. It’s a great option for those looking for recipes high in protein.
Serving Suggestions
I love serving this stir fry with Sesame Kelp Noodles or Cauliflower Rice for a low-carb, super healthy dinner. Trading out high-carb grains such as rice for superfood cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower is a great Keto Diet hack.
Understanding Celiac Disease
I eat extra healthy because I have an autoimmune disorder called Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease is often considered a disease of the gut but is, in fact, a multi-organ system autoimmune disease. I was diagnosed with it around twenty-five years ago, and my son also suffers from it, which is why I began cooking in earnest to turn my childhood favorites into gluten-free classics.

One Pot Meals and Paleo Recipes
In addition to healthy, high-protein dinners, I love the simplicity of a one-pot meal. Simple dinners made my life easier when my boys were little. Preparing a dinner recipe that has one-pot cleanup means fewer dishes. Some favorite one-pot meals that are healthy include the aforementioned Chicken with Cauliflower and Olives and Mexican Chicken and Rice.
Recipes for Leftover Chicken and Serving Sizes
Need inspiration for recipes with leftover chicken? There are plenty of ideas available. When it comes to serving sizes, the standard is four ounces of chicken, but I aim to eat more due to my need for extra protein to manage my Celiac Disease and MS.
Easy Dinner Recipes for Everyone
Easy dinner recipes aren’t just for those with autoimmune disorders like Celiac; they’re for everyone. Along those lines, my favorite chicken dinner recipes are easy to make, healthy, high in protein, and totally tasty.
