It’s garden harvesting time here in our little town. Every year we both have our veggies planted and now we get to reap the goodies! It’s one of our favorite parts of late summer because we love our fresh vegetables the best. They always taste SO good, plus since we grew them we know exactly what kind of stuff has been put on them(chemical, or in our case non chemical wise). So when we got our Mary’s Secret Ingredients box for the summer season we decided to celebrate our summer veggies with using the box to make a Garden Fresh Zucchini & Chicken Stir Fry!
First lets talk a little about the Mary’s Secret Ingredients box. Mary’s Secret Ingredients has always been founded on a love of food and a cause to end world hunger. They strive to do both while bringing you a great box full of culinary awesomeness to inspire your cooking every season. Every season (spring, summer, fall, & winter) is filled with great items and tools to help you cook great meals for your families. Your subscription also comes with recipes hand tested from Mary’s kitchen emailed to you, so you can get inspired to cook up some awesomeness.This season was Summer of course, so we had a lot of interesting things. There wasn’t a lot of “cook with” items as in our last box. We got The English Provender Co. Luxury Lemon Curd & Caramelized Red Onion Chutney, Taste of Provence Herbes de Provence seasoning (which has a cool magnet to stick on your fridge!), Chef’s Cut Honey Barbecue Chicken Jerky, Truffle Zest, Chia Seeds Crunchy Strips, and Joseph Joseph Rotary Peeler. You can also check out the Spring box and our BLT Recipe here.
Mary’s Secret Ingredients box has really been on fire with their tools this month and last. Last month we had an awesome garlic crusher and this month it was a rotary peeler. We were actually amazed at how well this works and how easy and simple it is to use. It was the PERFECT thing to use to peel zucchini for this recipe. Speaking of recipes, lets dive in and see how to make our stir fry!
You’ll need:
2 tbsp. of Taste of Provence seasoning (herbes de provence)
3 Tbsp Garlic minced
1 tsp. Salt
3 fresh sage leaves
2 tbsp of caramelized onion
2 Chicken breasts (cut)
1 cup fresh broccoli
2 medium-large sized zucchini
1 1/2 onion
2 Tbsp. Caramelized Red Onion Chutney
coconut oil
First we started cooking our chicken in a little bit of coconut oil. Normally we would chunk the chicken before cooking, but the breasts we were using were a bit frozen, so we decided to cut it after cooking. If you can cut it before hand though, do it! For my seasoning I mixed together the garlic, seasoning, and salt together in a bowl and put some on the chicken while it was cooking.
After your chicken is done you can go ahead and add all of our vegetables in. You can use any you want but we used zucchini, broccoli, and onion. Once you have those in cooking, you can add the rest of your garlic mixture, and add some of the red onion chutney. I also threw in some fresh sage from my garden at this point.
Then just cook until all your veggies are tender, or the way you like them. You can also add more salt or garlic to your own taste of course, but that’s pretty much all there is too it. Stir fry’s are one of our favorite ways to cook in the summer because you don’t have to heat your oven or even the grill (which keep your house nice and cool), but they’re easy. Just throw together meat & veggies and voila!
Special thanks to Mary’s Secret Ingredients for sending us their lovely Summer box! If you’d like to learn more about the box, you can check their website, and as always you can ask us any questions you have.
