GARLIC CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry image

I have listed 2-3 tablespoons of minced garlic, you may of coarse adjust to taste --- the steamed broccoli may be replaced with sauteed fresh mushrooms --- make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the crushed chili flakes or you may omit completely --- make certain to have everything prepared and handy near your wok or skillet before starting this --- NOTE; this does not make a lot of sauce so I would strongly suggest to double the sauce amounts --- serve with cooked rice.

Tips:

Use fresh garlic and ginger: Fresh garlic and ginger add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh garlic or ginger on hand, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder instead.
Don't crowd the chicken: When cooking the chicken, don't crowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is one of the main flavorings in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality soy sauce. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful.
Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately. The chicken will become tough if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This garlic butter chicken stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
