Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry {Best Ever!}

The best Chicken Stir-Fry you will ever taste. An amazingly simple recipe bursting with flavour that comes together in under 30 minutes. Your whole family will love this tasty dinner – It is certainly requested over and over again in my house!

This is a chicken stir-fry that I regularly want to eat right out of the pan. I have to make a real conscious effort to not eat this whilst I am cooking it and immediately after I have finished cooking it. My husband also likes to swing past and take a few cheeky spoonfuls before it is actual dinner time! This is a wonderful problem to have I guess because it means it is a really, really good chicken-stir-fry that everyone can’t wait to eat! Needless to say, it has established itself as a regular feature on our dinner time rotations.

What is so amazing about this Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry?

It’s healthy, light and full of flavour! Chicken is fried with black pepper and Thai red curry paste, garlic and ginger before being combined with an array of veggies! Then a sauce of honey and soy sauce is mixed into the stir-fry making this stir-fry super juicy too! And let’s not forget the cashews which had a gentle crunch and a dash of sweetness. Yum! 

Summary of Ingredients Needed:

• Olive oil and Butter
• Chicken Breasts
• Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
• Thai Red Curry Paste
• Fresh Garlic and Ginger
• Veggies; Bell peppers, spring onions (scallions), cabbage and carrots
• Cashew Nuts (or peanuts)
• Honey (or Maple syrup)
• Soy sauce
• Water
• Fresh Coriander

My Top Tips for Making Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry:

1. Don’t be shy with the freshly cracked black pepper – season the chicken liberally!
2. Be careful not to overcook the chicken – chicken strips really don’t take that long to cook. See recipe for suggested times.
3. Allow veggies to cook and soften completely before adding the sauce ingredients.
4. Use fresh coriander to garnish – this not only looks pretty but tastes delicious too!
