This quick and flavorful Chicken Stir-Fry features tender chicken, crisp broccoli, sweet bell peppers, and crunchy cashews tossed in a savory soy-garlic sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights and better than takeout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted toasted cashews
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat.
  2. Toss chicken with a splash of soy sauce and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry.
  3. Add vegetable oil to the pan and sear chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add broccoli and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Return chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Add cashews and green onions. Stir and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Toast cashews first for extra flavor.
  • Swap chicken for tofu for a vegetarian version.
  • Add a splash of lime juice at the end for brightness.
