The best thing about stir fry is as long as you have a good sauce for flavoring, you can basically throw any protein, grain, and vegetables you want into the dish.
Today, I am sharing a recipe I found when I basically wanted the plate method in a wok. This stir fry packs about 40g of protein per serving when you add the quinoa to it. What is a better all-in-one dish than that!

1/3 cup powdered peanut butter
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or liquid aminos
1/2 tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic (minced)
For the stir fry:
1 tablespoon sesame oil (divided)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
Freshly ground salt and pepper
3 cups fresh broccoli florets (You can use frozen broccoli for simplicity)
1 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 cup frozen organic edamame
For garnish: Crushed roasted peanuts or cashews, fresh cilantro, hot sauce
*You can also add quinoa to the dish. To do so, cook cup quinoa in cup water. Boil, then cover and lower heat to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Then add the quinoa to the dish when you add peanut sauce and chicken.
