Tender + Juicy Gingery Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe Is Brimming With Big Bold Flavor
I’m a huge fan of one-pan meals. They’re usually quick to prep and they always make cleanup a breeze. For me, that’s a big plus especially when it comes to weeknight dinners. Take this Gingery Chicken Stir-Fry recipe. Not only is it loaded with bold flavor, it’s ready to eat in just 30 minutes. Talk about a win-win!
We coat thinly sliced boneless chicken breast with soy sauce and sriracha for a kick of salty heat. But you can sub in any hot sauce you have on hand. Or simply leave it out if you prefer a milder dish. It’s key to cook the chicken first. That way it won’t over-cook in the time it takes the veggies to tenderize. Minced garlic and fresh ginger add a double dose of zingy flavor, but they tend to burn easily so be sure to stir those in at the very end. Give it a try then let us know what you think.
