Chutney chicken stir fry

 

Who doesn’t love a stir fry right? Quick, easy, nourishing and full of flavour – they’re the perfect week night supper. Stir fry is definitely one of my favourite, speedy meals and this chutney chicken stir fry is fab!

 

 

This recipe has a little South African twist as I decided to use chutney and Worcestershire sauce instead of the usual soy sauce. It was also inspired by one of the very first recipes I published on the blog years ago (mango chicken) – the recipe is delicious, the pictures are hideous, ha ha! But the chutney and chicken combo works well and so I decided to rejig the recipe and pop an updated version here for you. With improved photos. *wink*

 

 

I’ve used our local favourite, Mrs Balls Chutney, in this recipe but you can use any variant you like. You can also mix and match your veggies to create a scrumptious dinner!

 

 

Cook’s notes –

  • This recipe works well with any chutney variant!
  • Mix and match your veggies. (Mushrooms work very well in this recipe.)
