Chicken Stir Fry

This is a great week night meal that can be made quickly and the whole family will enjoy. The stir fry sauce that I use in here can be used for any protein and any combo of veggies. For this particular one, I used a mix of peppers, onions and broccoli. You can certainly add more veggies and use beef or even shrimp instead of chicken. That is what is so awesome about this recipe. You can mix and match and change it however you want. ENJOY!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil or olive oil sesame will give you a higher smoke point and some added flavor
  • 1 lb chicken breasts cleaned and diced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger optional
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Sauce
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Method
 

  1. In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil until hot enough to quickly stir fry, almost smoking. Add in the chicken, season with salt and pepper and lightly brown on all sides. Once the chicken has lightly browned on all sides, push it to outside edges of the wok or skillet.
  2. Then add in the onion and peppers season with salt and pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until beginning to soften, we want to leave a slight crunch in them, so do not over cook. Add in the broccoli and saute for another 3-5 minutes.
  3. Move everything to side of the pan. Add the garlic and the ginger. Then cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. In a small bowl , whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. You can also shake it up in a mason jar.
  4. Toss everything together in the pan and let it all combine. Add in 3-4 tablespoons of your sauce. Mix together and checking your seasoning. Serve over rice or crispy noodles.
