Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stir-Fry     Chicken

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 mandarin orange, juiced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces udon noodles
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 medium sweet onion, roughly chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 (15 ounce) can mixed stir-fry vegetables, drained
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

Steps:

  • Place chicken into a resealable zip-top bag (such as Ziploc®). Add mandarin orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and smashed garlic. Close the bag tightly and mix the marinade into the chicken. Place into a refrigerator and let rest for 1 hour.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken and marinade; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes.
  • While chicken cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Stir bell pepper, onion, carrot, and minced garlic into the skillet with chicken. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook for 6 minutes. Add broccoli, cover, and cook for 3 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry cooks quickly and evenly.
  • Use a hot wok or large skillet: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables quickly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you add too much food at once, it will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry constantly: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the food from burning.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: This will help to create a glossy, flavorful sauce that coats the chicken and vegetables.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This orange chicken and udon stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. Serve this stir-fry over rice or noodles, or simply enjoy it on its own. No matter how you choose to serve it, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
