Rainbow Stir Fry

Here is one of my favorite make once eat three times recipes. Eating from the rainbow is so easy when you make this chicken stir fry.  Stir fry dinners are the way to go. You get your protein, your veggies, everything in one skillet and in no time your meal is ready. I like to prep my chicken and veggies earlier in the day and when I am ready for my meal all I have to do is cook it in my skillet. This is called mise en place that means "putting in place" or "gathering". In cooking, it refers to the organization and discipline of a good chef, who prepares and organizes all their ingredients and supplies before starting to cook.
