CHICKEN STIR-FRY



Chicken Stir-Fry image

In my home, one of our go-to dishes for Chinese takeout is chicken and broccoli. It's so flavorful and never dry! The secret to the super tender meat is velveting, the technique of cooking marinated proteins briefly in hot oil. I wanted to replicate the same flavors and textures at home in a budget-friendly way. With just a few fresh vegetables, lots of pantry condiments and only one chicken breast, this recipe will serve four. If you have any leftovers or are meal planning, the velveting technique ensures that the chicken will remain succulent even when reheated.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, about 12 ounces
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
2 cloves garlic, chopped
8 ounces broccoli florets
4 ounces shiitake or button mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 small carrot, peeled and cut into 3-inch-long matchsticks
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, optional
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 cups steamed jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breast in the freezer until firm enough to thinly slice, about 20 minutes. Using a sharp or serrated knife, thinly slice the chicken 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a medium bowl and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Let sit for 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch and mix well. Set aside in a cool place for 20 minutes.
  • Whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 2 teaspoons water in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken slices in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until they just turn opaque, about 45 seconds. Flip and cook, undisturbed, until almost entirely opaque, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove to a bowl.
  • Add the ginger and garlic to the wok. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is slightly golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli and toss to coat; cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and carrot; toss to combine. Add the Shaoxing wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the chicken stock, white pepper if using, chicken and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
  • Mix the cornstarch mixture in the bowl until well combined then add to the wok. Stir until everything is nicely coated, reduce the heat to medium low and cover with a lid. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drizzle with the sesame oil. Toss until everything is well combined and transfer to a serving platter. Enjoy warm with steamed rice on the side.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups white rice
4 cups water
⅔ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 green bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 head broccoli, broken into florets
1 cup sliced carrots
1 onion, cut into large chunks
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and corn starch in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Mix ginger, garlic, and red pepper into sauce; coat chicken with marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, and onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side; return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe papaya: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe papaya that is firm but slightly yielding to the touch. Unripe papaya will be hard and green, while overripe papaya will be mushy and lack flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your stir-fry, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or snow peas. This will add more color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the papaya last: Papaya is a delicate fruit, so it is important to add it to the stir-fry last. This will prevent it from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken and papaya stir-fry is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fresh. You can garnish it with chopped cilantro or green onions for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Chicken and papaya stir-fry is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful stir-fry recipe, give chicken and papaya stir-fry a try. You won't be disappointed!
