HONEY-CITRUS CHICKEN STIR-FRY



Honey-Citrus Chicken Stir-Fry image

This is so quick, so healthy, and I literally had ALL the pantry ingredients on hand. If you keep chicken breasts in the freezer and OJ in the fridge, you've probably got all the stuff. You could use pre-sliced veggies to make this really fast. Be aware that this makes a very scant four servings (you may need to up the ingredients accordingly). (EDIT 11/07 - After the first review, I noticed I goofed on the ingredients. It has since been corrected.)

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2 inch strips (thawed, if using frozen)

1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups mixed vegetables, cut up (I used sweet onion, orange pepper, and broccoli)
2 cups rice, cooked

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, in a bowl mix honey, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large wok or skillet. Add veggies and cook until tender-crisp (about 3 or 4 minutes). Remove veggies from wok.
  • Add more oil if needed before adding chicken. Cook chicken for 3 or 4 minutes, or until no longer pink.
  • Push the chicken to the sides of the pan and pour the sauce into the center (give the sauce a quick mix before doing this).
  • Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken, while gently stirring. Then return the veggies to the pan and cook until heated through and all ingredients are coated with glaze.

Tips for Making the Best Honey Chicken Stir Fry:

  • Tenderize the Chicken: Before cooking, partially freeze the chicken then slice against the grain into thin strips. This technique helps the chicken absorb the marinade and become extra tender.
  • Use a Quality Honey: Choose a raw, unfiltered honey for the best flavor and health benefits. Avoid honey blends or honey that has been heavily processed.
  • Whisk the Sauce Ingredients: To prevent clumping, whisk the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until well combined.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the Chicken in Batches: To prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking, cook the chicken in batches. This will help maintain the stir-fry's texture and prevent the chicken from steaming.
  • Use a High-Heat Cooking Method: Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet over high heat to quickly sear the chicken and vegetables. This will create a nice caramelization and prevent the ingredients from becoming soggy.
  • Add the Sauce at the End: To maintain the crispy texture of the chicken and vegetables, add the honey sauce towards the end of the cooking process. Stir-fry for a minute or two to evenly coat the ingredients.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the honey chicken stir-fry with sesame seeds, chopped scallions, or cilantro for added flavor and color. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Honey chicken stir-fry is a versatile and delicious dish that can be easily customized to your preferences. By following these tips, you can create a restaurant-quality honey chicken stir-fry that is bursting with flavor and texture.
