Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
- 1 pound chicken breast, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup Yum Yum sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Slice chicken breast into thin, uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and appears slightly rippling.
- Add sliced chicken to the hot pan, spreading pieces evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken turns golden brown and is cooked through with no pink interior.
- Remove cooked chicken from the pan and set aside on a clean plate. Keep warm.
- In the same pan, add mixed vegetables. Stir-fry vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they become crisp-tender, maintaining their vibrant colors and slight crunch.
- Return chicken to the pan with vegetables. Pour soy sauce over the mixture and toss to combine, ensuring even coating.
- Add Yum Yum sauce to the stir fry, stirring gently to distribute sauce evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with optional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Tips
- Prep is Key: Chop all ingredients before you start cooking. Stir-frying moves quickly, so having everything ready ensures perfect timing.
- High Heat, Quick Cooking: Use a wok or wide skillet and keep the heat high. This helps vegetables retain their color and crispness while creating a delicious sear on the chicken.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary. Overcrowding leads to steaming instead of the desired golden-brown searing.
- Sauce Distribution Matters: Add Yum Yum sauce at the end and toss gently to coat everything evenly, preventing any ingredient from becoming soggy.
- Optional Garnish: Sprinkle green onions or sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and professional presentation.
