- 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced - 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow) - 1 cup broccoli florets - 1 carrot, julienned - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 2 green onions, chopped - Cooked jasmine rice - Noodles For this dish, you need some simple and fresh ingredients. Start with the chicken. I always prefer boneless chicken breast because it cooks fast and stays juicy. Marinate the chicken with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch. This mix adds flavor and tenderness. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper. Next, gather your veggies. Bright bell peppers and crisp broccoli add color and crunch. The carrot gives a nice sweetness. Garlic provides a great aroma. Chopped green onions on top add a fresh, zesty kick. Finally, think about how you want to serve your stir fry. Jasmine rice is my favorite, but noodles work really well too. Both options soak up the sauce and complete the meal. With these ingredients ready, you're set to make a quick and tasty dish that everyone will love. - First, slice the chicken breast into thin pieces. - In a bowl, mix the chicken with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. - Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes. This helps the chicken soak up the flavors. - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. - Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer. - Stir-fry the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes. It should look lightly browned and be cooked through. - Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside for later. - In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. - Toss in minced garlic, sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. - Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3 to 5 minutes. They should look vibrant and tender-crisp. - Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. - Stir everything well to combine, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to heat through. - Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or sweet chili sauce. - Serve the stir-fry hot over cooked jasmine rice or noodles. - For a beautiful presentation, use a large bowl. - Garnish with extra chopped green onions and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce on top. This adds flair and flavor! High heat is key for stir-frying. It helps cook the chicken quickly. This ensures a nice sear while keeping the meat juicy. A wok is great for this. It spreads heat evenly and allows you to toss ingredients easily. However, a large skillet also works well if you don’t have a wok. You can boost flavor with extra spices. Try adding ginger or red pepper flakes for heat. For a twist, use teriyaki sauce or hoisin sauce. These can replace the sweet chili sauce or add to it. You can also try marinating the chicken in different sauces. Experiment with garlic or lemon juice for a fresh taste. Prep ingredients in advance. Chop vegetables and slice the chicken the night before. This cuts down on cooking time. Batch cooking is another smart move. Make extra stir-fry and store it in portions. This makes weeknight dinners quick and easy. You can simply reheat and enjoy! {{image_2}} You can make this dish with shrimp or tofu instead of chicken. Shrimp cooks quickly, so add it to the skillet for about 2-3 minutes. Tofu needs a bit more time. You should cook it for about 5-6 minutes until it's golden. Both options bring great flavor to the stir fry. Just be sure to marinate them like you do with chicken. Feel free to switch up the vegetables! Snap peas and zucchini add great crunch and flavor. You can also use seasonal veggies like asparagus in spring or bell peppers in summer. Mixing colors makes the dish look more appealing too. Experiment with what you have at home for a fresh twist. Want more heat? You can use sriracha or chili paste to spice things up. Just mix it in with the sweet chili sauce. If you prefer a homemade touch, try making your own sweet chili sauce. Combine sugar, vinegar, and crushed red pepper for a simple blend. This way, you can control the sweetness and spice. To keep your leftovers fresh, use an airtight container. Glass or plastic containers work well. Make sure to let the stir fry cool before sealing it. Store it in the fridge for up to three days. This keeps the flavors strong and the chicken safe to eat. When it's time to eat again, use the stovetop to reheat your stir fry. This method helps keep it from getting soggy. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water or broth to help steam the dish. Stir it often for about five minutes until it's hot. You can also use a microwave, but stir it halfway through to heat evenly. If you want to save some for later, freeze your stir fry in portions. Use freezer-safe bags or containers. It stays good for about one month. When you’re ready to eat, move it to the fridge overnight to thaw. You can also use the microwave for quicker thawing, but then reheat on the stove for best results. Making this dish is quick and easy. It takes about 10 minutes to prep the ingredients. Cooking time is around 15 minutes. So, you can have this meal ready in just 25 minutes. It's perfect for busy nights! Yes, you can make this dish in advance. You can marinate the chicken a few hours ahead or even overnight. Just keep it in the fridge. For the veggies, you can chop them up early too. Cook everything fresh when you're ready to eat. This stir fry pairs well with several sides. Here are some great options: - Cooked jasmine rice - Noodles - Steamed white rice - Cauliflower rice for a low-carb option - A fresh green salad on the side Absolutely! To make it gluten-free, swap regular soy sauce for gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. The rest of the ingredients are already gluten-free.

Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow for color)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 carrot, julienned

2 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

      In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Toss in the minced garlic, sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.

        Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Stir well to combine everything and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

          Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the stir fry and give it one last toss. Adjust seasoning with more salt or sweet chili sauce if desired.

            Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice or noodles.
