Zesty Chicken Stir Fry Recipes

CHICKEN STIR FRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim chicken thighs of excess fat and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces (about the same size as the chicken pieces).
• Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.
• In a large pan (or wok), on med/high heat, heat 1 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add chicken in a single layer. Cook chicken until browned, mixing as needed. Once cooked, remove chicken from pan and set aside.
• Add the remaining oil and the butter to skillet with the broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, red peppers, onion, and carrots. Cook until vegetables are crisp tender, mixing frequently.
• Add chicken back to the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
• Add the cashews then pour the sauce into the pan and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and let stir fry simmer until the sauce thickens and is well incorporated with the remaining ingredients. Garnish with green onion and sesame seed before serving if desired.

Steps:

• Combine ginger, garlic, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
• Take thinly sliced chicken (I like to slice it in the morning when still frozen, my slices come out much thinner) and coat in 1/2 of the cornstarch. Add chicken to marinade mixture and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 45 minutes.
• Heat oil in wok or stir-fry pan.
• Add chicken and marinade to pan, cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through. Set aside.
• Add vegetables to pan, cook 5 minutes or until just cooked. They should be crispy, not mushy.
• Return chicken to pan. Add chicken broth and the remaining cornstarch. Bring to boil for one minute then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Serve over steaming hot rice.
