A quick and flavorful honey garlic chicken stir fry with tender chicken, crunchy veggies, and a sweet and savory sauce.

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp chili garlic sauce

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp corn starch

2 tbsp Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt, divided

1 tsp sesame oil

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons

1/2 cup chopped bell pepper

1/2 white onion, chopped

3 cloves minced garlic

1 tsp minced ginger

1/4 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce to make the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
  2. In another small bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  6. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then pour in the honey garlic sauce. Stir everything together, making sure the chicken and vegetables are coated in the sauce.
  8. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and everything to heat through.
  9. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir fry and give it one final stir before serving.

Notes

Customize the vegetables: Use carrots, broccoli, or snow peas instead of zucchini, bell pepper, and onion.

Adjust the spice level by adding more chili garlic sauce or a dash of sriracha.

For a lighter version, swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts.

Serve with rice or noodles for a more filling meal.

This dish can be made gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
