I am always trying to find ways to give my kids more veggies in their day. It can be super hard though, and sometimes takes being extremely creative on my part. That is why my go-to meal is my Delicious Vegetable Chicken Stir Fry! More on that, below!

I have done the celery with peanut butter and raisins (you know, the ants on the log thing..), I have also tried using cookie cutters on their fruits, doing star-shaped kiwis or heart-shaped apple cutouts, but it does not always work! How would it be to not have to “hide” veggies in meals or make them super cute in order for your child to want to eat it? 

We went to the grocery store to purchase some yummy veggies. I let the kids handpick which 2 veggies they most wanted. They chose broccoli and mushrooms! I was a bit shocked, to say the least! I never thought they would have picked out those two things! I say that is a great start though!

 I and my kids then made a really yummy meal with the vegetables we bought. We call it a Vegetable Chicken Stir Fry and there were no leftovers!! It was SO delicious! My kids loved it too because they were involved in shopping for the vegetables and helping me cook it!

Recipe For Vegetable Chicken Stir Fry

Here is the recipe for my Vegetable Chicken Stir Fry:

*4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

*Soy Sauce

*Red cooking wine

*White sugar

*Red pepper flakes

*Broccoli 

*1/2 package of fresh mushrooms, sliced

*Small white onion, chopped (you can also use green onions)

*Flour (to thicken the sauce)

*White Rice

Directions:

*Cut chicken up into bite-size pieces and cook until browned

*While the chicken is cooking, make the white rice according to package instructions

*Chop up the onion and add to the chicken

*Add 1 1/2 cup of soy sauce, stir

*Add 1/2 cup of red cooking wine

*Add 2/3 cup of white sugar, stir (this is optional)

*Add red pepper flakes and stir (I just sprinkle in how much I want!)

*Add in sliced mushrooms and sliced broccoli

*Last, but not least, add a couple of spoonfuls of flour into a small cup of hot water, stir until dissolved then add the mixture to the stir fry and mix thoroughly.

*Stir and let it simmer for about 15 more minutes

We serve this with white rice! It is so delicious and this is my go-to meal when I don’t know what else to make because I know everyone will eat it! Let me know if you make it and how it turned out!

If you liked this chicken stir fry recipe, then check out my Peanut Butter and Ginger Chicken Stir Fry!  It is similar, but it has peanut butter and ginger in it! SO good!!! And, don’t forget to add a yummy dessert like these SpongeBob Squarepants rice Krispy treats!! The kids will love them!

    I tell them that they will help them to grow..carrots make you see better, spinach makes you stronger, etc.

  2. geekbearinggifts says

    I’m lucky that the two-year-old in my life will try anything as long as I put some on my plate first and she sees me eating it. Thanks for the cool offer!

  8. Rosey says

    I cut them up really tiny, but I don’t know if that’s why they eat them…I think they just like them.

  10. Huston Smith says

    My son is a bit odd an will only eat food if it is green. So it is everything else i have to get creative with

  11. Tara O. says

    My children have always loved veggies. I introduced them early and I model eating them, so my sons have never questioned eating them.

  12. Christine Sarkauskas says

    We are a veggie family, so I cut them up and make sure that they are always available.!

  13. Pauline M says

    I’ve struggled for years with this and about eight months ago, I found the perfect solution, just add cheese. Shocking, but I found that just adding cheese to vegetables, they would eat as much you want them to!

  15. Beverly M says

    My children have always liked veggies. We have a veggie garden every summer and the corn and tomatoes and green beans, etc, taste so good, fresh from the garden. I buy country crock too, it’s my favorite spread. Thanks for having the contest!

  17. Chris N says

    My monkies love veggies. They will eat salad with a squeeze of lemon. They definitely did not get that from me.

  19. Andrea B says

    My daughter likes veggies pretty well. She likes to eat carrots raw, broccoli and cauliflower cooked in microwave with butter and garlic salt, same for peas.

  20. Ed Nemmers says

    The little ones help in the backyard vegetable garden and they like to eat what they grow!

  21. Morgan E. says

    The kids I work with at my child development center love their veggies with any kind of cheese sauce poured over top – they barely notice there’s broccoli underneath!

  24. Jennifer Paige says

    Well, I dont have any kids, but I watch my nephew enough to know that i have to eat those veggies too, or he just doesnt want them!

  27. Leticia says

    It’s actually my niece and I pretend I am going to eat all the veggies instead and she can’t have any… then she really want them 🙂

  28. Laura Emerson says

    I always have either rice, potatoes or mac and cheese along with the veggies. I made up a game of find the veggies first. I mix the veggies along with the rice, potatoes or mac and cheese and the first person to find the veggies first and eat them wins. The winner gets to pick out the Saturday night family movie night or something else like stay up for 20 minutes longer than usual.

  29. Mary Michaud says

    my little munchkin likes veggies, i just need to learn to be more creative than steamed with butter and salt

  30. Paula Hafner says

    I’m lucky. My kids all love vegetables. I let them see me eating them and it’s rarely an issue. 🙂

  34. Deb S says

    Fortunately my boys love veggies. They would much prefer to eat only veggies and no meat.

    dlsloveblogs at gmail dot com

  35. Lisa S says

    I mix them into things and call them fun names such as tasty trees and Peculiar Power Pea Pellets.

  37. Deborah Rosen says

    My son is an adult and he lives on an overseas USAF, so I don’t get to squeeze veggies into his diet much any more. But when he visits, he still eats carrots, which he “hates,” because I grate them into all sorts of things that he loves and asks me to make when he’s here lol. Shhhh, it’s a secret.

  38. Jenn S. says

    I set out a dish of raw veggies and fat free dip before dinner. They usually eat those up in no time. Adding a cheese sauce to cooked veggies works well too.

  40. Jessica says

    I love to add a little something to jazz it up a bit-like a dash of maple syrup to glazed carrots or bread crumbs to green beans

  41. Nicole Fall says

    My kids love veggies now that they are 11 and 12 but when they were little I had to make up silly names for all the different veggies so they would eat them!

  44. Jen V. says

    I use the recipes in The Sneaky Chef to sneak veggies past my kids. When my youngest was tiny, we got her to eat broccoli by calling it trees. She loved it!

  50. Melanie says

    I don’t get really creative with veggies. I just serve them and my kids eat them. I do add cheese or ranch dressing for my pickier eaters.

  51. Claire McKeon says

    If you have them help you shop for them, clean them and prepare them, they are more likely to eat them.

  54. Caryn S says

    I’m actually very lucky because my 2 year old eats most vegetables. She does like dipping her carrots in ranch dressing, though. Whatever works!

  58. katfam says

    My kids are very good about eating their veggies. We started them as babies and have always made eating veggies seem like a treat. We also talk a lot about being healthy and involve our kids in shopping and preparing food.

  59. Crystal S. says

    They are pretty good at eating veggies for the most part, but on some that they don’t care for, if I chop them up really tiny they eat them without complaint!

  60. Jennifer Marie says

    I get my sons to eat their veggies by making them finger foods-they love it that way!

  61. Liz says

    I normally mix them in food they like. Casseroles and also celery and peanut butter. I even do carrots and peanut butter.

  63. Kelly Hutchinson says

    I shave carrots and zucchini, etc. and put into sauces, and even bake with them 🙂

  64. Jason says

    We let the kids grow what they want. It seems to let them pick some vegetables that they like

    I blend the veggies and mix them with tomato sauce

  69. McKim says

    I am very fortunate that my kids love vegetables. They want them as snacks also. I have no problem getting them to eat them.

  71. brittney says

    My daughter is pretty easy to get to eat most veggies. She even asks for them! A little ranch dip makes them all taste great.
    brittneydejajason at gmail dot com

  75. Ashley says

    my kids love veggies so I dont have to sneak them in. but if I can offer any advice to parents is keep trying new things with them!! kids taste buds change so what they may not like today they may like 2 weeks from now. thanks!!

  77. Christy says

    I puree veggies and put them in casseroles. My daughter never has a clue that she’s eating veggies.

  78. Heather H says

    My daughter hates veggies…so in order for me to get her to eat them I make a special dipping sauce for them (that’s healthy) or I puree them up and sneak them in foods!

  80. Carol Bryant says

    I introduced veggies to their diet before they could object. Now, they eat them without complaining.

  82. clynsg says

    I have never worried about it too much–they eat veggies quite well, especially the ones I keep for snacking in the refrigerator.

  85. Debbie C says

    Chop the veggies fine and add them to something they like. Call it “confetti”.

    chrisdeglen(at)gmail(dot)com

  86. Tamra says

    The immersion blender is my best friend! Blend veggies into everything and no one knows they’re there!

  87. Debra F says

    When the kids were little I sometimes sneaked veggies in by using the food processor and adding them to spaghetti sauce, meatloaf etc.

  90. nan says

    i buy fruit juice with veg in it and i mix grated veg into baked goods like corn muffins so they don’t know it’s there
    nannypanpan at gmail.com

  97. Kobi Hendrix says

    I actually hide them in things, like meatloaf. I find the kids eat them better if they can help pick or grown them

  98. Jean Lynd says

    I try to cook them in ways they’ll like, but when it comes down to it, I just kept offering them up & not cooking diff’t things for diff’t ppl. They eventually try ’em & usually like ’em.

  99. Cindy M says

    Parsnips and turnips are my biggest challenges- even my hubby won’t eat them. SO,I dice or shred them and sneak some into Mashed potatos & hash browns.

  101. jessica vaughan gengler says

    I tell them they cannot get up until they eat them. They protest,but mom and dad win in the end.

  102. Amber Jordan says

    I use the good, old fashioned “you aren’t getting up from this table until you eat.”

  103. renee walters says

    I follow your blog on GFC, subscribe to your email, Google +1, and like you on Facebook! I would absolutely love to win this for my family! I am very fortunate, my children love vegetables and fruit! Thanks so much for the fantastic giveaway!

  104. Jody says

    Lilly is not quite one & so far…there is no vegetable she doesn’t like. This too shall pass.
    Thank you

  105. Valerie May says

    I never had a problem with veggies. My kids always liked them…now my grandchildren like them too.

  106. DeeAnn S says

    We’re fortunate because everyone likes veggies! I started when they were very young, helping out in the garden. I found that they tended to eat what they grew. They still love gardening and look forward to spring when planting can begin. Thanks.

  107. Patrice says

    Grow some of your own veggies and get the kids to help with choosing the seeds or plants, planting, weeding, watering and harvesting, and they will hopefully be proud of what they grew and want to eat it.

  110. Anastasia says

    I usually mix them in with the meal so they can’t pick them out 🙂 Or, I just withhold dessert until some of the veggies are eaten 🙂 OR I put cheese on then 😀

  111. Mercedes says

    I throw spinach in EVERYTHING. On top of pasta, in sandwiches, under the sauce. I bake a lot and I’m always tossing in ground zucchini and other vegetables in the dough. So we’ll make a pizza (filled with veggies in the dough) and put more veggies on top.

  115. Deena Bailey says

    I try to be creative in presentation. I try t add just a little flair to them. Maybe add nuts, different sauces.

  118. Cathy Wallace says

    We add them to casseroles, serve them with dips/cheese sauce, oven fried or grilled. s

  120. Heather H says

    We chop the veggies up so they are pretty small and then we put “hide” them in sauces etc so the kids can’t tell what they’re eating.

  122. Debra B says

    My kids are grown now but when they were little I would just suggest they try the veg and if/when they didnt like it I would try to make it a different way, I remember getting them to try asparagus, of course they hated it at first, but after trying a different way to make it they really loved it, I roasted it with garlic and they thought it was great and actually asked for me to make it, I also bought the V8 juices with servings of veg & fruits in each glass, it got pricy so we didnt do that often, I think they both accepted the fact that we were going to eat veg with dinner and to at least have some of it, there are some they still wont eat but they do like quite a few and their taste changed as they grew older so keep trying and maybe they will like it at a different age, also giving them raw veg with dips was a big hit, they loved that,
    Thanks for the great giveaway

  123. Jennifer T. says

    I sneak spinach into my meatballs and load up chicken pot pie with veggies.

  124. Amber says

    My daughter is 18 months old, and I don’t have any problems getting her to eat her veggies! I’m sure that’ll fade with time, but I’m hoping not!

  126. Eloise Carlson says

    My kids eat veggies really good for the most part so I don’t have to try any real tricks. They especially love carrots and cucumbers. I try to get them to eat broccoli by putting it into casseroles and use some cheese, but I have to cut it up really small so they don’t notice. Thanks so much for hosting this great giveaway!

  127. Heather W says

    Not very creative – they just grew up very easy eaters, loving veggies
    Lovefool827 (at) yahoo (dotcom)

  129. Suzanne K says

    I’m lucky, my daughter has always liked veggies. And, about 2 years ago, she became a vegetarian. I do get a bit creative putting lentils and beans into things to make sure her diet is balanced, but that’s not too hard.

  131. Penny W says

    I either puree them and put them in a sauce, or serve them with ranch dressing!

    pkbw28 at gmail dot com

  132. Sammi says

    any kind of spice or sauce makes veggies better – I don’t really like them plain, either!

  134. Madelyn says

    My kid will eat any veggie as long as it’s steamed. So we give him loys of steamed green beans and steamed broccoli.

  138. Kayla says

    I try to make sure that veggies are “disguised” in other, tasty-looking food so kids won’t even know they’re being healthy!

  141. brenda says

    I get my kids to eat their vegetables by putting them in things like soups,casseroles,meatloaves,or any main dish.

  144. Michele L. says

    I was lucky – my children have always been great to eat vegetables. My husband, not so much. I’m still looking for a trick to get him to eat veggies
    rlawrence110 at yahoo dot com

  145. Theresa Shafer says

    New foods go on adult plates and IF / When they ask then they may have a taste. It is adult food for when they are older..if you think you are ready for it…may that gets them eating all sorts of veggies and fruits.

  146. ellen says

    Vegetables were never a problem except with squash. What I found worked is if they grow it they will eat it or at the very least give it more than one try to make up their minds about it!

  147. ewhatley says

    I hide veggies in spaghetti sauce, chili, hamburgers, really just about about any ground meat dish.

  150. Betsy Hoff says

    I am very lucky that veggies are my daughter’s favs! My son I have to snaek veggies in with casseroles and such!

  151. Jamie Brigham says

    I get my kids to eat their veggies by eating them with them we have a contest to see who can eat all their vegetables first, kids love to compete

  152. Jessica T. says

    I get my son to eat his veggies by letting him dip them in ketchup or ranch dressing!

  153. Tamara B. says

    I always have cut up vegetables in containers in the fridge and will make some Greek Tzatziki sauce for them to dip them in and they eat them up plus the sauce is very healthy to eat too.

  155. JaKell Meckley says

    luckily my three LOVE all veggies so far! We have even tried alot of variates. My step-daughter no so much. We have to hide them in the foods. My favorite to make is zucchini bread or cookies they love them! They also love black bean brownies if you need ways to get your kids to eat extra beans!

  156. Matt Ferrell says

    Melted cheese on them sometimes works for getting to eat veggies!

    aniamsou @ comcast . net

  159. Kristie says

    My kids aren’t the best at eating their veggies, but I do ask them to at least try it before they say they don’t like it….sometimes it works! 🙂

  161. ChristinaAileen says

    I’ve been lucky, only one of my kids hasn’t loved veggies. My girls will pick fruit and veggies over anything. With my son, the only creative thing I’ve done to get him to eat more veggies is to let him dip them in dressing, since he prefers uncooked veggies. I’m okay with that though since he will eat them that way (I don’t like some cooked veggies either but love them uncooked – like carrots, cauliflower, broccoli)

  163. Heather says

    My daughter loves veggies. Hopefully that won’t change as she grows older.
    hschonrock at yahoo dot com

  165. Ann F says

    I add vegetables to my casseroles. It is the only way I can get my daughter to eat them.

    abfantom at yahoo dot com

  166. Samantha C. says

    MIne are still young enough that they enjoy the taste of veggies, especially broccoli!

  169. Donna B. says

    My son never met a veggie he didn’t like (except for cooked carrots), so getting him to eat them is easy. When he was little, I made sure that I always served a wide variety and served veggies at every meal. Also, when we grocery shopped we’d always look for different veggies (and fruits) in the produce department to try.

  175. Tabathia B says

    I usually add dip to it and have been guilty of adding sugar to beans but for the most party they love certain veggies with cheese
    tbarrettno1 at gmail dot com

  177. Marysa N. says

    I cut fruits/veggies into shapes (like apple sticks), make dips, and make lots of little portions.
    Marysa {at} marysa {dot} com

  178. Allison Greene says

    We try to boost veggie intake by doing things like drinking v8 fusion, so it doesn’t taste like veggies

  181. Amanda Alvarado says

    Dd is pretty good about eating her veggies so I haven’t had to resort to hiding them yet! If she tries telling me she doesn’t like something, I make her take one bite and if she doesn’t like it she doesn’t have to eat it. It has worked so far and she’s found she does actually like certain foods!

  182. glo says

    i make them taste one spoon of whatever it is at the same time before they eat the other food.

  185. ann says

    you got to try and hide them in other stuff that they like. if they dont see them they cant tell they are eating them most of the time
