Use your favorite griddle to make this quick and easy chicken stir fry! With chicken, broccoli and bell peppers all in a delicious sauce!
PREPARATION TIME:
Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:10 minutes
Total Time:30 minutes
Ingredients:
Chicken
- 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Sauce:
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Vegetables and toppings.
- 1 pound broccoli cut into 1 inch florets
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
For cooking.
- avocado oil
Instructions:
-
Toss the chicken with the vegetable oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch. If possible allow to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours.
-
Whisk together the sauce ingredients and prep the vegetables.
-
Heat the griddle to around 400-425°f. This is medium-high on my griddle. If you have two other burners you can heat them to a lower temp.
-
Squeeze or pour some oil on the hot part of the grill, enough to coat the area, so that all of the chicken will be in the oil. Spread it around and then add the chicken. Spread the chicken out and cook for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.
-
You can move the chicken to a cooler part of the griddle, add more oil and add the broccoli and bell pepper to the griddle. You can squirt a little water on the vegetables to create some steam and help them cook evenly. Toss and stir around for about 2-3 minutes.
-
Combine the chicken and the vegetables, whisk the sauce to recombine and pour over the chicken and vegetables. Cook for about 2-3 more minutes or until the suace is thickened.
Notes:
I use a hotter zone and a cooler zone when cooking, however you can do it with all the burners set to one temp. You’ll want to add the vegetables a little sooner, so that the chicken doesn’t over cook.
