Best Easy Chicken Stir Fry Recipe: Quick Weeknight Dinner
This easy chicken stir fry is a quick weeknight dinner made in one skillet. It's perfectly spiced with paprika and garlic and features tender chicken and crisp bell peppers.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs skinless, boneless, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 small ginger root
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chilli optional
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 medium bell peppers sliced or roughly chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken thighs and cook until the chicken is beautifully browned on all sides.
- Push the chicken to the side of the pan (or remove it briefly). Add the minced garlic and minced ginger root to the hot oil. Cook for about 1 minute until wonderfully fragrant. Stir them into the chicken.
- Add the salt, paprika, chilli (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder to the chicken and aromatics. Mix well to ensure the chicken is perfectly coated in the spice blend.
- Add the sliced onion and the sliced bell peppers. Mix everything gently to coat the vegetables with the seasoning. Continue to cook for just a few minutes—do not overcook—we want those peppers to retain their crispness.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately.
