Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients: To make chicken stir fry sauce, gather soy sauce, chicken stock, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch (or arrowroot starch.)
Chicken Stir Fry Ingredients: For the stir fry, you’ll need broccoli florets, vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and boneless chicken breasts. If you have it, you can chop up a small bell pepper to incorprate more vegetables to your stir fry but it is optional. Optional Garnish: Top this stir-fry recipe with scallions (aka green onion stalks), cilantro, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and chopped peanuts for extra flavor. To Serve: To complete this meal, serve it with 4 cups of cooked rice (my favorite is Brown Jasmine Rice) or quinoa.

Storage: Leftovers for this Asian chicken stir fry will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freezing: To freeze this dish, first bring it to room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container or in a freezer bag with as much air removed as possible. The stir fry will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 months. However, I don’t recommend freezing broccoli, as it won’t maintain its fresh, crisp texture. To thaw: When you’re ready to eat your frozen stir fry, put it in the fridge overnight, then warm it on the stovetop.
