How to Make the Best Chicken Stir Fry: A Perfect Recipe for Any Night

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts or thighs into thin strips. This will help them cook quickly and evenly. Also, prep your vegetables: slice the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Cook the Chicken:

Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the broccoli and cook for an additional 2 minutes until it’s bright green and slightly tender. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Make the Stir-Fry Sauce:

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or brown sugar), and cornstarch-water mixture. Stir well to combine and dissolve the cornstarch.
Combine Chicken and Sauce:

Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Serve:

Serve the chicken stir fry over cooked rice, noodles, or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
