This easy Chicken Stir Fry looks good, doesn’t it?
I’ll let you in on a little secret about this easy dish: I didn’t make it.
My daughter did!
Before I dive into the details on this yummy kid-friendly recipe, I have a little story to tell along with a great program for kids.
You see, my girls have always loved to help in the kitchen, in any way possible. From fetching items, to helping mix and pour, they’ve always been eager to assist. Yet it was only in the last year that my oldest daughter, Isabelle, expressed great interest in having full rein when it comes to cooking and baking. She was given a kids recipe book for Christmas last year, and has since made every recipe from the book, all by herself.
Oftentimes when I’m getting ready to make a meal, Isabelle literally puts herself in front of me, and says ‘I got this‘. I tell ya, parenting is a whole different experience when I get to sit back with a cup of coffee and watch my child cook a meal start to finish, with very few prompts from myself. I have to admit – I really love it. Not only does it give me a break {hey, it’s the truth!}, but in doing so, she is learning such a valuable life skill.
I happily support her desire and determination to cook solo, by introducing her to new easy recipes whenever I can. As well, I’m always on the lookout for fun tutorials and programs that encourage kids to get in the kitchen and cook! in return she eats them up like a good home-cooked meal. Win/Win!
It’s with this that I introduce you to Uncle Ben’s #BensBeginners, a program developed encourage healthier meals and better habits for kids. The goal is to teach more kids about good food and great ways to cook, knowing that the end result is a better life!
To get Canadian families in the kitchen cooking together and to encourage kids to to learn some healthy culinary skills – Uncle Bens has launched a national contest for kids and families to show everyone how quickly they can whip up a wholesome rice dish.
Every week until October 11th, a new video is published online with Logan Junior Chef, issuing a weekly challenge and a cooking tip.
Kids and their parents can upload photos of their crafty cooking to getkidscooking.ca for a chance to win one of three $10,000 RESPs!
This week, the featured video is Logan Junior Chef talking about how to cook with raw chicken. This video provides valuable tips when it comes to raw chicken safety and best practices. While we have a separate poultry cutting board, I have to admit that I don’t have a separate pair of poultry tongs. So, it was a good reminder to start doing this again, since there little learners in my household that need healthy habits right form the start!
In the Ben’s Beginners Weekly Challenge 4 video, Logan Junior Chef also announces this weeks challenge – making a recipe with Uncle Bens rice, chicken, and snowpeas.
And that leads me to Isabelle’s Easy Chicken Stir Fry and our fun in the kitchen one summer afternoon. This particular recipe for Chicken Stir Fry is actually one that I’ve been making for years, for when I need a meal in a pinch.
While there are many recipes for stir fry sauce out there, this particular one calls for only 4 common ingredients. Actually, this entire recipe calls for very few ingredients and takes little time to make – and those are combinations that are great for kids learning to cook.
Like many times before, Isabelle wanted full control in making Chicken Stir Fry. I was there on video duty. Here’s my daughter in the kitchen, showing how easy it is for kids to make Chicken Stir Fry!
Do you have a Uncle Ben’s rice, chicken and snowpeas recipe that you can share on getkidscooking.ca? Remember to enter for your chance to win BIG, and check the site weekly for the next cooking challenges. Good luck!
Now onto the recipe, enjoy everyone!
