Description
I love this quick and easy stir fry recipe so much! It tastes amazing and it's so much healthier than take-out. This is the perfect recipe for hectic nights when you want something flavor-filled but don't want to spend an hour cooking!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 package frozen stir fry vegetables
- Hot cooked rice, about 6 cups cooked
For the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- While the chicken is cooking, add all of the sauce ingredients to a quart mason jar, add a lid, and shake well to combine.
- When the chicken is cooked through, reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce over the chicken. Stirring continuously, cook until the sauce thickens and the color changes from a muddy brown to a cleaner, reddish color. This should take about 3 minutes.
- Add the frozen vegetables, and cook until the veggies are heated through.
- Serve the chicken, sauce, and veggie mixture over hot cooked rice, and garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to use fresh chopped veggies if you'd like; frozen ones just make things really easy. This is an easy recipe to use what veggies and meat you like or have on hand. It's very flexible.
