Super-Flavorful Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe is a Quick-Fix Dinner
Just 25 minutes from start to finish — and so good you'll want seconds!
When you’re looking for a speedy supper sensation, a stir-fry is just the thing. And this chicken stir-fry recipe, created by the pros in our test kitchen, is my new weeknight favorite. Loaded with chicken, crunchy bok choy and adorable baby corn, and flavored with ginger, sweet chili sauce, garlic and basil, it’s a delicious medley of flavors and textures. We even toss some peanuts into the mix for extra crunch and protein. But the real secret to this recipe — and what makes it so extra crave-worthy — is an ingredient you’ll want to keep in your pantry if you don’t already have it on hand: fish sauce! It’s slightly salty and a little sweet with a rich umami flavor, and it adds depth and complexity to dishes. It truly takes this stir-fry to the next level.
Once the veggies are quickly chopped and the sauce is whipped up, this stir-fry cooks up in less than 15 minutes. Serve it with rice for an insanely good dinner.
