  • Author: neuriox
  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

A fast, flavorful chicken stir fry perfect for solo dining, ready in under 10 minutes with simple ingredients and a savory sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas or green beans, trimmed
  • 1/3 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (or about 1 teaspoon pre-minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, combine sliced chicken with 1 teaspoon soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix until all pieces are coated. Let sit while prepping vegetables.
  2. Prep vegetables: Slice bell peppers, trim snap peas or green beans, shred carrots, mince garlic, and grate ginger.
  3. Heat pan: Place a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil.
  4. Cook chicken: Add marinated chicken in a single layer. Let sear without stirring for 1-2 minutes, then stir-fry until cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
  5. Add aromatics and veggies: Toss in garlic, ginger, bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Make sauce and combine: Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Pour over stir fry and toss to coat evenly. Sauce should thicken slightly.
  7. Final touches: Remove from heat. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and green onions on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

If sauce thickens too much, add a tablespoon of water to loosen. Do not overcrowd pan to avoid steaming chicken. Thinly slice chicken for faster cooking. Can substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp. Use tamari for gluten-free option.
