Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry
Who else is absolutely obsessed with super easy and super flavorful one pan meals? I’ve been trying to make dinners more streamlined and easier lately, and this Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry has officially landed on our dinner rotation.
We love that it takes hardly any prep, uses pantry friendly ingredients (hello frozen vegetables), and packs tons of flavor! Try serving it with some rice noodles for a filling meal, or with some cauliflower rice for a lightened up and healthier version.
I’ve partnered up with BUBBL’R to bring you this awesome easy one pan meal. The honey in the sauce pairs so perfectly with their passion fruit wond’r flavor. I love having a can of it while I’m prepping dinner. You can find out where to buy BUBBL’R here.
How Do You Make Stir Fry Chicken So It’s Tender?
There are two tricks to making sure you have perfectly tender meat in this stir fry. The first is to take the time to marinate the meat. I know, it sounds like an extra step, but the acid in the marinade helps to tenderize the meat.
The second tip is to make sure you don’t overcook the meat. Since we’re using chicken thighs, it’s harder to overcook it, but it’s still best to keep an eye on it while it’s sauteing.
What Can I Add To Stir Fry For Flavor?
This recipe is already super flavorful from the marinade and sticky honey garlic sauce. If you want to add even more flavor, you can add some grated ginger to the pan when you add the cooked chicken back in. Then let it saute for a minute before you add the sauce. Alternatively, if you like spicy sauces, you could also add red chili flakes to the sauce.
Another fun swap is to play with the oils. You can use a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil in lieu of some of the olive oil, it adds a delicious nutty flavor. You could also use coconut oil in lieu of the olive oil for a lightly sweet flavor.
What Type Of Vegetables Should I Use In A Stir Fry?
To me, stir fry recipes are all about getting a healthy flavorful meal on the table in as little time as possible. That’s why I like to use a frozen stir fry vegetable mix. I use the Kirkland brand from Costco, but any brand will work. It makes prepping a healthy meal loaded with tons of vegetables incredibly easy.
If you want to use fresh vegetables, I’d recommend a combination of bell peppers, green beans, onion, and broccoli. You could also use asparagus if you happen to have any laying around.
Is This Recipe Gluten Free?
You’d have to swap the soy sauce with certified gluten free Tamari to make this recipe gluten free. To make it without Tamari or soy sauce, you can substitute it with coconut aminos.
