Quick and easy healthy family meals

 My favourite quick and easy healthy family meals has got to be the good old stir fry. 

Simply buy garlic, ginger, chilli, chicken thighs, red onion, French beans, courgette, broccoli. And a stir fry sauce of your choice. Plus noodles (I love udon) 

Cook the thinly sliced chicken in a wok, add beans, onion until al dente, add the garlic, ginger, chilli, courgette and broccoli for another 10 minutes until soft. 

Add the stir fry sauce and add the udon noodles and stir for 5 minutes or whenever the noodles are warmed through. 

Tada, just serve up. A really Healthy meal in under half an hour ❤️
