Skinnyfabulous Chicken and Veggies Stir Fry
The sauce for this stir fry is fantastic! So simple since it’s made with mostly orange juice concentrate and a sweet chili sauce you buy at Trader Joe’s or another supermarket. In addition, this stir fry is packed with fiber-rich veggies such as broccoli slaw and cabbage. Each serving has 251 calories and 3 grams of fat. You could serve it over brown rice if desired but I love it just the way it is. Pure yumminess!

Shopping Tips
Broccoli slaw is sold in bags in most supermarkets. Most of the time it has a little shredded carrot in it. I bought mine at Trader Joe’s. Sweet chili sauce is sold at Trader Joe’s under their label. There is a variety of other brands sold in most supermarkets in the Asian or international section. Rice vinegar can be found in most supermarkets in the Asian section. I bought mine at Trader Joe’s. Or, you can use any white vinegar instead.
