Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry, simple

Simple Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry is a speedy and savory meal to make during the week!

As a mom, we're always on the hunt for simple meals. You know the ones where you can toss any ingredient from the fridge into a skillet and call it a win. Well, this Simple Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry will be your dinner hero.

What’s in the Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry?

We're glad you asked. A simple combination of cubed chicken thighs, broccoli florets, red pepper slices, red onion, garlic, and cashews. Everything is cooked right in a hot skillet and is bursting with flavor!

What’s in the Sauce?

This is the easiest part! Promise. All you need to do is combine honey, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. That’s it! This simple sauce is poured over the chicken thighs, veggies, and cashews while in the skillet and creates this caramelized reduction. OMG. It’s just so good!

Do You Recommend Any Substitutions?

Absolutely! A favorite thing about making a stir fry at home is you can use whatever ingredients you have in the fridge. Instead of chicken you can use beef, pork, or tofu! For the veggies try carrots, radishes, peas, or corn. And if you have a nut allergy you can omit the cashews completely and use green onions for a little crunch instead.

Can we Add Rice?

You bet! We love serving this Simple Honey Garlic Chickens Stir Fry with brown rice from Trader Joe’s because y’all know our rice cooking skills still need some work! LOL. But if you want to keep things low carb simply serve as is.

Do we need a Wok to make this Dish?

Nope! We would recommend using a large skillet that is non-stick so the sauce doesn’t burn. Other than that, just remember to use high heat so all the ingredients get nice and crispy!
