how to make chicken stir fry
Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite size pieces. Season with salt and pepper and coat them with corn starch (corn flour). Chop the onion and dice the bell peppers to similar size pieces and set aside.
In a frying pan over medium high heat, add cooking oil and fry the chicken for 5–6 minutes until fully cooked. I like to use avocado oil for its health benefits, but you can use canola or corn oil.
Remove from oil and place on a kitchen paper towel over a plate to absorb any excess oil.
In a wok or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and add cashews and peppers. Stir fry for 3–4 minutes and then add the onions. Stir for a couple of minutes and add the chicken.
Mix the honey with rice vinegar and soy sauce and pour over the chicken and vegetable mix to coat on all sides. Stir for a couple of minutes, turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Serve this stir–fried dish with some steamed rice or noodles, and you will have a wholesome meal for the family.
