Ingredients to cook Chicken Stir-Fry
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes | Estimated Ingredient Costs: $20-$30
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Optional garnish: sliced green onions and sesame seeds
Instructions to cook Chicken Stir-Fry
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
4. Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
5. Give the sauce mixture a quick stir and pour it over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
6. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken and vegetables nicely.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the stir-fry rest for a minute.
8. Serve the chicken stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Tips for Involving Kids in the Cooking Process
- Allow kids to help with age-appropriate tasks like washing vegetables, measuring ingredients, or stirring the sauce. This promotes their interest in cooking and teaches them valuable skills.
- Encourage kids to choose their favorite vegetables to add to the stir-fry. This empowers them to make choices and increases their excitement about the meal.
- Let kids assemble their own plates by offering a variety of toppings or garnishes for them to choose from. This gives them a sense of ownership over their meal and encourages creativity.
Variations for Different Dietary Preferences or Restrictions
Vegetarian/Vegan: Replace the chicken with tofu or tempeh and use a vegetarian oyster sauce or soy sauce alternative. Ensure the sauce ingredients are vegan-friendly.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Replace the cornstarch with a gluten-free alternative like arrowroot or tapioca starch.
Low-Carb: Serve the stir-fry over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of regular rice or noodles.
Without Chicken: You can easily swap in some beef, pork, or shrimp in this recipe.
Spicy: Add a dash of chili sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce for an extra kick of heat.
Customization: Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables such as snap peas, mushrooms, or carrots to suit your taste and dietary preferences.
