We are always looking for easy recipes to make for dinner. For this chicken, it does take a little but of planning but the cook time is so quick, you won’t care that the marinade takes a little longer!
What is stir fry?
Stir-fry by definition, is to cook (food) quickly by cutting into small pieces and stirring constantly in a lightly oiled wok or frying pan over high heat. I feel like I basically do this with all of my meals!
For this Italian dressing chicken stir fry I decided to go super easy and use dressing for my flavorings. For the protein, you could add shrimp or pork but I recommend chicken.
