How to Make Ginger Chicken Stir Fry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces) and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside, keeping it warm.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add 1 cup of chopped celery and 1 cup of sliced carrots and stir-fry until crisp-tender (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Add 1 cup of snow peas and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.
  8. Add 1/4 cup of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the wok. Stir until well combined.
  9. Pour the broth mixture into the wok with the vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  10. Return the chicken to the wok and toss to coat in the sauce. Heat through for 1 minute.
  11. Serve hot over rice or angel hair pasta. Garnish with toasted sliced almonds (optional).
