Serves 4
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Boneless skinless chicken breast |
| 1 | Soy sauce |
| 1 | Garlic powder |
| 2 | Peanuts |
| 1 | Cashews |
| 1 | Minute Rice |
Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, ensuring they’re of uniform size for even cooking. Gather your vegetables of choice, such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas, and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of salad dressing. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breast strips and cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
-
Next, add your chopped vegetables to the skillet with the chicken. Stir-fry them together for a couple of minutes until they begin to soften slightly but still retain their crispness.
-
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and garlic powder. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the Minute Rice according to the package instructions. This typically involves boiling water, adding the rice, and allowing it to simmer for a few minutes until it’s fluffy and cooked through.
-
Once everything is ready, serve the chicken stir-fry over the cooked Minute Rice or noodles of your choice. Optionally, you can add peanuts or cashews to the stir-fry at this stage, or simply set them out on the table in a small bowl for individuals to sprinkle on top according to their preference.
-
To serve, I recommend using two separate bowls – one for the rice or noodles and another for the chicken stir-fry. This not only presents the dish beautifully but also allows each person to customize their meal with the desired amount of peanuts or cashews.

Enjoy your delicious Chicken Stir-Fry hot off the stove, savoring the harmonious blend of flavors and textures in every bite. Whether you’re serving it for a family dinner or a casual gathering with friends, this recipe is guaranteed to be a hit!
