Instructions
Trim chicken thighs of excess fat and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces (about the same size as the chicken pieces).
Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.
In a large pan (or wok), on med/high heat, heat 1 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add chicken in a single layer. Cook chicken until browned, mixing as needed. Once cooked, remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Add the remaining oil and the butter to skillet with the broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, red peppers, onion, and carrots. Cook until vegetables are crisp tender, mixing frequently.
Add chicken back to the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp oil divided
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup baby corn
- 1 small carrot julienned or cubed
- 1/2 red pepper cubed
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
- 1/2 onion cubed
- ½ cup cashews
- 1/4 cup TOYO soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- When cutting chicken, slice into small bite-sized pieces. This will ensure the chicken is full of flavor, tender and not hard to chew.
- Serve the stir fry with your favorite side. A plain fried rice, white rice or noodles will all work great as there are vegetables and protein in the stir fry already.
- Chicken thighs tend to be more forgiving in stir fry, but you can substitute with chicken breast if you don’t have thighs on hand.
- Cut the chicken thighs (or breast) into bite-sized pieces and cook.
- Combine the chicken with the vegetables and sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens and ingredients are well incorporated.
