Chicken Stir Fry

Easy

Chicken Stir Fry is one of the first savory dishes I learned to cook.  It was very popular when I was learning to cook, and a “new” way of cooking.  

I’ll never forget visiting my grandparents and cooking Chicken Stir Fry for them.  My grandmother was a great cook, but this wasn’t something she would have tackled.  Needless to say, they loved it.  I was so happy to share this with them.

Benefits of Cooking Stir Fry

If you haven’t tried cooking stir fry, I encourage you to give it a go. It is a delicious and healthy way to cook vegetables and protein. It doesn’t always have to be chicken. It is a quick and easy meal that can be made in just a few minutes, which is perfect for busy schedules. 

Stir fry is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables in a delicious and nutritious way because you aren’t cooking them long - just long enough to make them tender.

Stir Fry Tips

• Use a wok or large skillet. A wok or large skillet will help you cook your stir fry evenly.

• Cut your ingredients into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.

• Heat your pan over medium-high to high heat. This will help you cook your stir fry quickly.

• Add your vegetables and protein to the pan in batches. This will help them cook evenly.

• Stir frequently. This will help prevent your ingredients from sticking to the pan.

• Add your sauce towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent it from burning.

Here’s my basic Chicken Stir Fry method.  Use this as inspiration, and then make it your own by adding the veggies and protein you like.  This makes a perfect vegetarian meal without protein.  My recommendation is to make the soy sauce and cornstarch marinade as directed and use this as your sauce at the end.
