Savory Citrus Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe

Today’s Special: Savory Citrus Chicken Stir-Fry

Hey there, hungry readers! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful twist on a classic stir-fry dish. This savory citrus chicken stir-fry is perfect for any day of the week and will surely delight your taste buds with its unexpected combination of ingredients.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken breast (200g)
• orange juice (50ml)
• soy sauce (30ml)
• honey (15g)
• cornstarch (10g)
• bell peppers (100g)
• snow peas (50g)
• orange zest (from 1 orange)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
• olive oil (15ml)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• zester

Start by marinating the chicken strips in a mixture of orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch for about 30 minutes. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned.

Next, toss in the sliced bell peppers and snow peas, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften. Sprinkle orange zest over the stir-fry, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Once everything is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the savory citrus chicken stir-fry hot over a bed of fluffy white rice or steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal that bursts with bright flavors and textures.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 500g, providing 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 125g, with an approximate calorie count of 250 per portion.

One clever tip for this dish is to add a handful of toasted cashews or almonds for extra crunch and nuttiness. This unexpected twist will take your citrus chicken stir-fry to a whole new level of deliciousness.

I hope you give this savory citrus chicken stir-fry a try soon. Feel free to customize it with your favorite veggies or add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and happy cooking!
