Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

To make chicken stir fry, you’ll need:

– Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 per serving)

– Vegetables of your choice (examples: bell pepper, onion, broccoli, carrots)

– Cooking oil (any kind, but sesame or vegetable oil works great)

– Minced garlic

– Stir fry sauce (store-bought or homemade)

– Soy sauce

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Cooked rice or noodles (to serve with stir fry)

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Thinly slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and set aside. This will ensure even cooking and a short cooking time.

Step 3: Wash and Cut Vegetables

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice bell peppers, onions, and any other vegetables you’re using into even-sized pieces.

Step 4: Make Stir Fry Sauce (Optional)

If you prefer not to use a store-bought sauce, you can make your own by mixing soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and any other seasonings of your choice. Set aside.

Step 5: Heat the Pan

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6: Add Cooking Oil

Once the pan is hot enough, add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Step 7: Cook the Chicken

Add the sliced chicken into the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 8: Add More Oil to the Pan if Necessary

The pan may need more oil at this point. If so, add another tablespoon of oil to the pan.

Step 9: Add Minced Garlic

Add minced garlic to the heated oil in the pan and cook for about 30 seconds.

Step 10: Cook the Vegetables

Add all the sliced vegetables to the pan and stir fry for 5-7 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 11: Return Chicken to Pan

Add the cooked chicken back to the pan with the vegetables.

Step 12: Add Sauce

Add your desired stir fry sauce (store-bought or homemade) to the pan, and mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables.

Step 13: Season with Soy Sauce, Salt, and Pepper

Drizzle some soy sauce over the stir fry and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 14: Simmer for a Few Minutes

Allow the chicken stir fry to simmer for a few minutes, so all flavors can meld together.

Step 15: Serve

Serve your delicious chicken stir fry over cooked rice or noodles as soon as it has finished cooking. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy meal!.
