Ginger Chicken Stir fry is an amazing combination of crispy chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper, onion and snow peas in a slightly sweet ginger lemon honey sauce. It is quick to come together and can be made in a wok or a large skillet.

My family loves stir fry. So yummy and nutritious. Are you a stir fry kind of person? It really is a lot easier than you would think. Ginger Chicken Stir Fry is one our favorites and can be prepared in a wok or a large skillet. The key to good stir fry is keeping the pan good and hot and working quickly. You want your meat slightly crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. Your vegetables should be tender crisp. Be sure to use an oil that has a high smoking point like safflower oil, canola oil, peanut oil or sunflower oil. Do not crowd your pan. I cook in small batches and plate the cooked goods. I do not cover the plate because I do not want the stem cooking the meat or vegetables any longer. Add everything back to the skillet at the end of the recipe and heat for 1-2 minutes. Delicious and just as good as the carryout places!!
