Spicy Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry

Ashlie
I don't know about you but, I love Asian food! Stir-fry dinners are my go-to for evenings that I am feeling too tired to have to think about what I am cooking for dinner. Not to mention, my husband loves those evenings because he loves my stir-fry dishes. He claims that Asian cuisine is my specialty. I'm not sure about that but, I am sure that this stir-fry is packed full of flavor for your taste buds and nutrients for your body. I mention this within the recipe but, I think it is worth repeating... I highly encourage serving this stir-fry over cooked Lo Mein noodles or steamed white rice. They soak up that stir-fry sauce perfectly and it just becomes magic goodness in a bowl. This stir-fry truly is a light comfort dish that is good throughout every season of the year!

Instructions
 

Spicy Garlic Stir-Fry Sauce

  • In a medium mixing bowl add 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp ground ginger, 2 tsp chili flakes, 1 tsp sesame seeds, 3 tbsp local honey, 3 freshly minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp corn starch, and 1/3 cup water.
  • Mix all of the ingredients together until the sauce mixture is well combined and a smooth consistency. Set aside.

Stir-Fry: Let's get cookin'!

  • Place a large cooking pan or Wok on a stovetop burner and add 3 tbsp of olive oil to the pan or Wok.
  • On a large cutting board, roughly chop 1 white onion, and 1 bunch of green onions, then set them aside within a small bowl.
  • Pre-heat the large cooking pan or Wok to medium-low heat.
  • Place two chicken breasts on your large cutting board and slice each of them down the middle of the breasts into chicken breast halves. Put a sheet of parchment paper over each chicken breast half and tenderize each breast half individually with a meat tenderizer tool until each chicken breast half is completely flattened.
  • After each chicken breast half is tenderized and flattened, cut the chicken breasts into bite sizes.
  • Lightly season the tenderized chicken breasts bites with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Place the lightly seasoned chicken breast bites within the pre-heated large cooking pan or Wok and bump up the burner heat to medium-high. Cook chicken breasts bites until they are completely cooked through and beginning to brown.
  • When the chicken bites are fully cooked through mix in the following; add a 12oz bag of broccoli florets, 10oz bag of power slaw, 6oz bag of snow peas, and the chopped white onion, along with the chopped green onions. Stir together until everything is evenly combined within your large cooking pan or Wok.
  • Finally, pour the stir-fry sauce over all of ingredients within the large cooking pan or Wok! Continue to stir it in until all of the ingredients are fully coated with this delicious sauce.
  • Reduce burner heat to medium-low heat and allow the stir fry to cook for 20 to 30 minuets or until all of the vegetables are tender.
  • When the vegetables are tender this stir-fry is ready to serve! You can serve this stir-fry over Lo Mein noodles or steamed white rice. I highly encourage you to do this! Enjoy, my friends!
