This garlic chicken stir fry is a quick and easy dinner that’s perfect for those busy weeknights. Cubes of chicken are cooked with colorful veggies and tossed in a flavorful garlic sauce for a meal that’s way better than take out!
When I’m looking for a speedy dinner, I often turn to stir fry. It’s so easy to make and super versatile. This garlic chicken stir fry features chicken and mixed vegetables in a garlic sauce. This dish is definitely for garlic lovers – there are four cloves of it in the recipe! If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can easily cut down to 2-3 cloves and it will still be flavorful.
I used chicken breast, broccoli, mushrooms and yellow bell peppers in this dish. You can easily substitute in your family’s favorite vegetables, other great choices are snow peas, zucchini, carrots, or even celery. The veggies are cooked first, then removed from the pan and the chicken gets seared to golden brown perfection.
The sauce for this dish is a simple combination of ingredients that you probably already have in the pantry, like chicken broth, sesame oil and soy sauce. I like to put a pot of rice on the stove to steam while I prepare my garlic chicken stir fry so that all of the components of my meal are ready at the same time. Which is important when you’re in a hurry to get dinner on the table!
The whole family will love this stir fry, and you’ll love how quick it is to make!
