Chicken and Lentil Stir Fry Recipe

Stir fry is one of my go-to meals because it is so simple and fast to make. The ingredients can be changed depending on what vegetables you have in the fridge, so it can be suited to what you like to eat.

You can make cooking the vegetables faster if you use a microwave steamer, like the one pictured above. As well, I cook the rice and the lentils together in one pot to save time.

Lentils are a great source of protein and fibre. Plus they are relatively cheap. Lentils are an excellent way to enhance the nutritional value of your meals.
