Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick and versatile dish that involves cooking chicken pieces with a variety of vegetables in a wok or skillet. Here’s a basic recipe outline:
Ingredients:
- Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Vegetables: Common choices include bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas, and onions. Feel free to use any veggies you like.
- Sauce: Typically a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sometimes hoisin sauce or oyster sauce. You can also add a splash of sesame oil for flavor.
- Oil: For cooking, such as vegetable or canola oil.
- Optional Add-ins: Nuts (like cashews), green onions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut chicken and vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Cook Vegetables: In the same pan, add more oil if needed and stir-fry the vegetables until they’re tender-crisp.
- Combine and Sauce: Add the cooked chicken back to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Finish and Serve: Cook for another minute or two, until everything is well combined and heated through. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
You can customize the stir-fry with different vegetables and sauces to suit your taste.
