Best 6 Chicken Stir Fry With Roasted Corn And Beans Recipes

CHICKEN STIR FRY WITH ROASTED CORN AND BEANS

Steps:

• Corn -- Bring the oven to 450 degrees. I shuck the corn and then just drizzle with olive oil and wrap with foil so no clean up. Set in the oven for 20-25 minutes. I rotate the corn every 5 minutes or so to get evenly roasted. Remove and take off the foil and then just let cool before you cut the corn off.
• Now if you are using frozen corn, skip this step. I just happen to like the flavor but it can easily be made without it.
• Chicken -- Sprinkle a little of the seasoning over the chicken (just a little, 1 teaspoon). Just let set a few minutes as you prepare the corn.
• Cutting the Corn -- Now, some chefs use a bunt pan and set the corn on the top center so as the corn cuts it doesn't go all over. Whatever works best for you. Cut the corn off the cob and set to the side.
• Saute -- Next heat up a saute pan and add the olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add the chicken and onion and saute until the chicken is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Then add in the remaining taco seasoning, water, corn, red peppers, black beans, and green chilies. Cook on medium until the sauce thicken and everything is well combined.
• Tortillas -- I just use my grill pan, but you can also just bake them in the oven or you can just serve them without baking them. However you enjoy them. I like to brush mine with olive oil and then lightly grill to warm them up.
• Serve with a tortilla or two on the side, some sour cream as a garnish and a nice side salad.

CHICKEN, PEPPER AND CORN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Toss the chicken with the egg white, 1 tablespoon each rice wine and cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Mix together 1/3 cup water, the remaining 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside.
• Place the sauce, vegetables and chicken near the stove. Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil is hot, scoop the chicken from the bowl with a slotted spoon, letting any excess coating remain in the bowl, and add to the oil. Stir-fry, breaking the chicken up just enough so it doesn't clump, until the outside coating is set and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe the wok out if needed.
• Return the wok to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the scallion whites and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and stir-fry until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and the sauce (stir the sauce before adding); stir until the sauce is thick and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the scallion greens. Serve with the brown rice.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Soak the black beans in the wine. Meanwhile, put a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add half the oil, swirl it around, and immediately add half the garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add the onion. Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion.
• Still over high heat, add the remaining oil to the pan, then the remaining garlic and ginger. Stir, add the chicken, stir again, then let it sit for 1 minute before stirring again. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to medium, add the scallion, and toss. Return the onion to the pan and add the sugar if you're using it and the soy sauce. Toss again, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add the beans with their liquid and the stock. Raise the heat to high and cook, stir-ring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken, about a minute. Turn off the heat, drizzle on the sesame oil, garnish with scallion, and serve.

• You can throw almost anything you like into a stir-fry, but these are some of my favorites; some require a trip to an Asian market, but many will be in your pantry.

• 2. Add 1/4 teaspoon or more Vietnamese-style chile paste, chile and black bean paste, or chile-garlic paste with the liquid.

• 5. Toss in 1/2 to 1 cup raw or roasted cashews or peanuts when you return the vegetables to the pan.
