Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick, one-pan meal featuring tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a savory sauce. Served over rice or noodles, it’s healthy, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 cup snow peas or snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce or hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for cooking
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, toss sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside to marinate briefly.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add carrots and broccoli first, stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add bell peppers and snap peas, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  7. In a small bowl, mix remaining soy sauce, oyster or hoisin sauce (if using), broth, and sesame oil. Pour over the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 1–2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
  9. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier result, or swap in beef, shrimp, or tofu for variety.
  • Include additional vegetables like mushrooms, baby corn, or zucchini.
  • Spice it up with chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
