How to Make Chicken Stir Fry
- Heat a large pan or wok with 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
- Cut chicken breasts into strips. Season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes until fully cooked through, stirring frequently.
- Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining olive oil. Add in bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until vegetables become soft. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Add more oil if needed.
- Add onion and garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
- Toss cooked chicken in teriyaki sauce. Stir until vegetables and chicken are coated in sauce.
- Remove pan or wok from heat. Serve with rice, noodles, or a side of your choosing.
Tips
- I recommend cutting your veggies ahead of time and stirring the vegetables frequently while cooking. This will help the vegetables cook evenly.
- You can make your own stir-fry sauce, but I love the flavor of Kikkoman’s Stir-Fry sauce. It’s so good!
