Stir fried meals are one of my favorite meals to cook on busy weeknights. The cook time is fast and the prep work is simple. Once the ingredients are chopped and prepped you seem to be eating in no time with the cooking process being done in an instant.

This Peanut Free Chicken Satay Stir Fry is no different. It’s fast, easy, flavorful, and full of veggies. The sauce is a SunButter base with tamari, coconut sugar, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. This sauce is fantastic, and you can use it for all sorts of recipes. For the stir fry, I cooked some boneless skinless chicken thighs with a red bell pepper and some stir fry vegetables over rice and garnished it with some fresh parsley. This recipe is peanut free, but for a nut-free option you can leave out the roasted cashews.
