Best 3 Healthy Family Friendly Chicken Stir Fry Recipes

HEALTHY CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Add in the chicken, and then toss to coat. Let marinate in the fridge while you chop your veggies.
• When you have all your veggies ready to go, heat a large wok over high heat. Add one tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Drain the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade and placing it back in the fridge. Add the chicken to the wok and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about five minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Pour the remaining olive oil into the wok, and then add in the garlic. Cook for a minute, or until fragrant. Add in the carrots, bell peppers, snow peas, and mushrooms. Cook until bright in color and just crisp-cooked, about three minutes.
• Add in the broccoli and cooked chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Whisk the cornstarch into the reserved marinade, and then pour into the wok. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick, about five minutes. Serve on top of rice or noodles, topped with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and additional soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat about a tsp or two of sesame oil over high heat in a large skillet.
• Add garlic and sauté until golden.
• Add chicken, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and stir fry until no longer pink (you may need to lower the heat so garlic doesn't burn.) Remove chicken and garlic from pan.
• Add another tsp or two of sesame oil and return to high heat.
• Add all vegetables and stir fry for 5 or 10 minutes, or until tender-- if using frozen snow peas, add them the last couple of minutes.
• Add back chicken and garlic and add teriyaki sauce.
• Stir fry another minute or two.
• Serve over hot cooked rice.

FAMILY CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 2 inch cubes. Toss them into a ziplock (or generic -- lol!) bag with the soy sauce. Set the bag in the fridge while you chop your veggies.
• Cook the rice according to the directions on the package.
• Chop broccoli into bite size pieces (larger if you want to watch your family work for their meal!). Slice the onion into rather thick slices. Cut bell pepper into 1 inch cubes. (Tired yet?). Slice the carrotsand drain the mushrooms -- phew!
• Heat the olive oil in your wok and toss in the chicken. Cook until just a little pink is left. Throw in the onions and cook until the meat is done. Put the garlic, broccoli, peppers, and carrots, in the wok and cover for 4-5 minutes.
• The mushrooms go in last for just a couple of minutes. Put some rice and the stir fry on the plate and devour with any sauces you'd like to add (teriyaki and soy sauce are my family's choices).
• Nudge the person beside you and motion for them to go clean up your mess. :D.
