Description

A quick and easy chicken stir fry recipe that can be prepared in under 30 minutes, perfect for a weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 1/4 cup sliced carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup stir-fry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, toss chicken pieces with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add broccoli, red bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet. Pour in stir-fry sauce and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until sauce has thickened and is heated through.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked rice.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, onions, or zucchini.
  • For a spicier stir fry, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger.
