Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

By

This basic chicken stir fry recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious by itself or served over rice.

I do love a good stir fry, and better still is when the sauce or “glaze” is nice and thick and coats everything evenly. I’ve really taken to using arrowroot powder lately just for that reason. It’s wonderful stuff and does a great job thickening and creating that wonderful glaze we love on Asian-style foods.

I have served this over rice, over cauliflower rice, and enjoyed it by itself. Any way you serve it, it’ll be quite tasty.

You can substitute the arrowroot powder with cornstarch if you wish. I just prefer to avoid corn these days, so I never use it anymore.

The important this to remember is that you must cook the harder parts of the bok choy first. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a dish feels too undercooked. So make sure the stalks are well cooked first.

CHICKEN STIR FRY RECIPE

Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Asian

Yield: 3 servings

Calories: 332 kcal

Author: The Gracious Pantry

Ingredients

  • 5 cups thinly sliced bok choy (about 1 large head)
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chicken broth (no sugar added, low sodium is best)
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (chopped into bite-size pieces)
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp. arrowroot powder
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • shredded carrots for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, combine the white (harder) parts of the bok choy and the onion with the chicken broth. Bring to a low boil and cook until they are partially soft.

  2. Add in the remaining greens of the bok choy leaves, the garlic, chicken and the coconut aminos. Cook until chicken is nearly done cooking. (about 10-15 minutes). Stir frequently.

  3. When the chicken is cooked through, there should still be at least a small amount of liquid left in the pan.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot powder and water until the arrowroot is totally dissolved. Pour it into the pan and stir.

  5. If you feel like you don't have enough sauce to really glaze everything well, you can add a little extra chicken broth.

  6. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with carrots.

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
