Anna's Chicken & Vegie Stirfry!

This chicken and vegetable stir fry is proof that healthy eating doesn't have to be hard!! It was thrown together using poached chicken, vegetables and stir fry sauce ingredients I already had in the fridge and cupboard. I'm really loving cauliflower at the moment, it's so versatile and easy to use in cooking but more importantly so good for us  it's low in calories w/ vitamin C, folate, fibre and other antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and protect against cancer and heart disease.
