How To Make Chicken Stir Fry

Just like any good stir fry, there are three main components – the sauce, the protein and the veggies.

Each has its own moment in the spotlight, but all three come together quickly to make an unforgettable dish.

• SAUCE: Combine the simple, yet flavor-packed sauce ingredients in a small dish and set that aside.
• PROTEIN: Thinly slice the chicken breast and marinate it with a little cornstarch, soy sauce, red pepper and salt.
• VEGGIES: Cook your veggies first, getting them nice and charred in a hot wok over high heat.

To prepare your chicken stir fry, you’ll start by marinating your chicken first, create your sauce and THEN start the cooking.

Since stir fries come together so fast, you want to make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go so nothing gets overcooked.

Once your veggies are cooked to your liking, you’ll remove them from the wok and set them aside.

Add another tablespoon of Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt to the wok and toss in the chicken.

Cook the chicken until it’s browned and cooked through, stirring frequently. Next, you’ll add the green beans and onion back to the wok.

Finally, stir in the sauce and let it heat through and thicken slightly.

That’s it! Dinner is ready!

Tips On Cutting Juicy Chicken for Stir Fries

There’s a special trick when it comes to cutting up chicken for a stir fry so you don’t end up with tough, chewy chicken.

When you slice the chicken, cut against the grain of the meat in thin strips.

This will create tender strips of chicken that cook quickly and taste amazing!

Tips For Making a Quick Stir Fry

Like I mentioned above, my #1 tip is to have everything prepped and ready to go BEFORE you actually start to cook.

Here are a few more tips and ways to modify the stir fry to your liking…

• Use a lid and cover the green beans and let them steam for a few minutes to make them softer to the bite.
• If you like it extra saucy, try doubling the sauce and adding in an extra cornstarch slurry at the end to thicken it up.
• Keep a tub of Land O Lakes Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt handy for quick dinners like this.
• Want it less spicy? Reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
