Chicken Stir Fry

Stir Fry is a fast, easy, and healthy solution to common food ingredients found in the fridge. Almost anything can be thrown in a pan with a protein, vegetables, and sauce, but sometimes it's handy to have a basic formula.


Here's my chicken stir-fry recipe. It's our go-to weeknight meal when we don't have the energy to spend much time in the kitchen or go to the grocery store.


The following serves a family of four.


Chicken Stir Fry Ingredients


  • 1/2 c. reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 Tbsp. honey

  • 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil

  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into small pieces

  • 1 bell pepper, seeds, and ribs removed, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced

  • 1 lb. boneless, organic skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" pieces

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/3 c. cashews (we do not include this because one of our kids has a but allergy)


Chicken Stir Fry Instructions


  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

  2. In a large skillet over high heat, heat oil. Cook the bell pepper, broccoli, and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes.

  3. Stir in the cashews; season with pepper.

  4. Pour sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
