Velveted Chicken and Veggie Stir-Fry is full of tasty goodness. With 30 grams of protein and just 284 calories, this is one meal you need to make!

Are your kids back in school by now? Mine are on their second week. It’s been nice to be back into a routine and have my days at home back so I can get things done. My kids are pretty good when they come home from school and get right into grabbing a snack and starting on their homework while I make dinner. But some days it doesn’t work so smoothly. Whether it’s helping them with a difficult math assignment or just getting them into the mood to do homework (is there really a mood for that?), it’s all I can do to put together a quick meal. The Velveted Chicken and Veggie Stir-Fry is a great meal on those crazy nights. While the chicken refrigerates, I can work on the other parts of getting the meal ready. And AllWhites Egg Whites help out with that.
