Chicken Stir-Fry is a fast and flavorful one-pan meal packed with tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a savory stir-fry sauce — perfect for busy weeknights or a healthy, homemade takeout alternative.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more as needed)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup snow peas or snap peas (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce or hoisin sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss sliced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add more oil if needed, then stir-fry garlic, ginger, and vegetables until crisp-tender, about 4–5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water or broth, oyster or hoisin sauce (if using), and sesame oil.
  5. Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Cook for 2–3 more minutes until sauce slightly thickens and coats everything.
  6. Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef for variation.
  • Add chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes for heat.
  • To keep veggies crisp, avoid overcrowding the pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat.
