Chicken, Peanut, Sugar Snap & Basil Stir Fry

Published on 15 October 2018
Stir fries are really wonderful to get into making. They are quick and you can really up your intake of veggies without it seeming like a chore.
I suggest getting all of the ingredients together first and then it takes about 10 minutes cooking to be on the plate. Chillies boost the metabolism and the lime and basil make it a flavour packed dinner.By Sophie MichellTime and servings
