A fast and healthy chicken stir fry recipe, perfect for a weeknight dinner. This versatile dish uses bite-sized chicken and your favorite vegetables in a simple, flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, sliced carrots, snow peas)
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  7. Give the sauce a quick whisk and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats everything, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand.
  • Adjust the sweetness and spice level of the sauce to your preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure your cornstarch is certified gluten-free.
