🍜 Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry Recipe
Ingredients:
For the stir fry:
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp oil (avocado, sesame, or canola work great)
- 3 cups mixed veggies (e.g. bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, mushrooms)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- Green onions + sesame seeds for topping
For the sauce:
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional but delish)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (to thicken)
🔥 How to Make It:
- Cook Chicken:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok. Add chicken, season lightly with salt & pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through. Set aside. - Stir-Fry the Veggies:
Add another tbsp oil, toss in garlic and ginger, cook 30 secs, then add veggies. Stir-fry 4–5 mins until crisp-tender. - Combine:
Add chicken back to the pan. Pour in sauce. Stir well and simmer a couple mins until everything’s glossy and coated. - Serve It Up:
Over rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice. Top with green onion, sesame seeds, maybe a little sriracha if you’re feelin’ spicy 🌶️
🛠️ Pro Tips:
- Slice chicken thinly against the grain for tender bites
- Don’t overcook veggies — we love a crisp crunch
- Want it spicy? Add chili flakes or chili garlic sauce to the stir-fry
