Ingredients

• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Coleslaw mix
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped celery

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.

3. Heat the Oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the hot oil and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

5. Cook the Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix, green onions, red bell pepper, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

7. Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.

Tips for Perfection

• For a more flavorful chicken, marinate it for longer, up to overnight.
• Use a variety of vegetables for a colorful and nutrient-rich stir fry.
• Cook the vegetables over high heat to maintain their crispness.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Serve the stir fry over rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish.

Variations

• Spicy Stir Fry: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha to the sauce for a fiery kick.
• Sweet and Sour Stir Fry: Add a tablespoon of pineapple juice or honey to the sauce for a sweet and tangy twist.
• Vegetarian Stir Fry: Omit the chicken and add extra vegetables, such as broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms.

Health Benefits

Chicken stir fry is not only delicious but also nutritious. Chicken is a lean protein source, while the vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The sauce, made with soy sauce and rice vinegar, is rich in antioxidants.

Pairing Suggestions
