Chicken stir fry is a classic dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. It is a great way to get a healthy and satisfying meal on the table in a short amount of time.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides.
  3. Add the onion, bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, cornstarch, ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
  5. Serve the chicken stir-fry over rice or noodles.

Tips:

  • For a spicier stir-fry, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • To make the stir-fry more flavorful, marinate the chicken in the soy sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have any cornstarch, you can use 1 tablespoon of flour instead.
