Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 1 pound chicken breast, tofu, shrimp, or beef Choose one protein
Vegetables
  • 2 cups bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas Chop into bite-sized pieces
Spices
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt
Oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil For a touch of nutty flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Marinate your choice of protein with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
  2. Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil or sesame oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated protein and cook for 5-7 minutes for chicken or shrimp, or until tofu is golden on all sides.
  2. Add the chopped vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until they are tender yet vibrant.
Serving

Notes

Make sure your protein is at room temperature for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan for best results.
