Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry Recipe
Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry RecipeThis amazing dinner is filled with seasonal veggies, plump and tender chicken pieces and a finger-licking-good sauce that’s perfectly sweet with just a hint of spice.
How To Make It
- You’ll start this super simple recipe by sautéing your seasonal veggies in Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt and a piping hot skillet.
- Once the veggies are nice and tender you’ll remove them from the skillet and brown the cornstarch-coated chicken pieces.
- The addition of Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt makes this dish extra buttery and delicious, while the convenient tub makes it easy to use.
Once your chicken is cooked through you’ll add in the sauce ingredients and let it reduce slightly until it’s thickened and coating the chicken pieces.
Bring your cooked veggies back to the skillet and toss to combine. It seriously doesn’t get much easier than this!
Chicken Stir Fry Recipe Variations:
This recipe is easily customizable to your taste preferences. Here are a few of my favorite ways to customize it.
- Instead of chicken thighs, you can use chicken breast or shrimp in its place.
- Use your favorite kind of veggies: broccoli, asparagus, snap peas, green beans, mushrooms, etc. The options are endless!
- Increase the heat by adding extra chili garlic sauce or decrease it by leaving it out altogether.
What To Serve With Stir Fry?
I like to serve this super quick chicken stir fry recipe over hot white rice along with some Egg Drop Soup or Chicken Egg Rolls.
My family loves this flavorful dinner, and I love how quickly it comes together.
I’m confident you’re going to be blown away at the delicious flavors of this simple dish!

Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry
Ingredients
For the Stir Fry:

Love this recipe! We sub out the honey for date syrup and it still works great!
That sounds like a great substitution. Thank you for your comment Shea!
Sorry no pictures but I made this tonight and it was delicious!! Even my picky husband enjoyed it AND said he would eat it again. That is high praise. The sauce was the best I’ve ever tasted. Just a really good easy recipe. Thank you
Can something be substituted the chili garlic sauce? I have a kid who doesn’t eat spicy.
DELICIOUS (and easy)! Everyone at the table enjoyed it. I read the comments after I made this recipe and will try some fresh pineapple in here next time, but in addition to the bell pepper and zucchini.
Next on my agenda is to try your Greek Pasta Salad.
GREAT LOVE IT
ThiswasAMAZING! I added pineapple instead of zucchini and OH MY GOSH it was delicious! Picky husband approved too!
I love the addition of pineapple! I bet that tasted great!
Made this tonight. It’s was very good but, it seemed like it took a long time to make.
This will be my second time making this recipe tonight! It’s so delicious and extremely easy to make. One of my top favorite things to make now. Thank you!!
I did this tonight on the fly. BIG hit! We will be putting this into regular rotation. Thank you!
I eyeballed the sauce and it turned out great! My family loved this recipe. I’ll definitely make this again and try different veggies.
I made this tonight and it’s a very good recipe…Thanks!
Wow wow wow. I never leave comments on recipes but I just have to share how great this recipe was! Absolutely delicious, restaurant-quality taste and easy to throw together! We used gochujang (Korean chili sauce) in place of chili garlic sauce and it was delish, and we also threw in cashews for some crunch. Can’t wait to have the leftovers!
A family favorite. We love this dish!! I mixed up the veggies and that’s the only thing I changed.
Not sure what I did wrong but I wouldn’t make this again. Never got thick or darker brown for me.
Made this for dinner tonight. My new favorite stir fry recipe! It was delicious and came together so easily.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Lisa!
One of the best recipes I have made for stir fry! My husband loved it and so did I. Will definitely make again!
Yay! So happy to hear it Lucy! Thanks for your comment!
I doubled the sauce recipe and did approx. 1.2 lbs of chicken and it was AMAZING. So much better than take out Chinese and You feel wayyyy less guilty
Fantastic! So glad you enjoyed it!
I made this tonight with jasmine rice and spring rolls. The kids and I loved it! The chicken had such great flavor. Thank you for such and easy and delicious recipe!
Sounds great! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
My husband, who doesn’t like zuchinni loved this dish! It was so easy to put together and so flavorful. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out great! Thanks!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!
This was easy to make and very flavorful! The only thing I did different was to eliminate the butter.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Probably the best stir fry I’ve ever made and I’ve made quite a few. Can’t believe I had all the ingredients on hand. Found ginger frozen in the freezer. I doubled the chicken, as well as the veggies…added broccoli. Trippled the sauce and added sesame oil. Thank you Shawn… everyone love it.
This was easy and delicious. I didn’t have the chili garlic sauce on hand either so used chili sesame oil and extra garlic. I used chicken breasts since that’s what i had and it was great.
So glad you enjoyed it Kim!
Very tasty. I got a sweet chili sauce cause I couldn’t find that sauce either. It was good, but it wasn’t quick! Chopping tool a long time and sautéing everything separately. But great flavor.
Chili garlic sauce is more of a paste. It can be found in the Asian aisle of your grocery store. Usually it has a clear jar with a green lid. 🙂
Have made this several times with chicken and shrimp, using whatever vegetables are around. Nothing but raves from everyone who has tried it!
That sauce is boss!! So glad you enjoyed it!
This is delicious! My husband loves it! I used red pepper flakes as I had no chili sauce.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Made this tonight we loved it . I used a Thai Chili Sauce and it was perfect .
What is chili garlic sauce?
I had no idea either so I googled it. One common brand is sriracha sauce. There’s others. My favorite is i think texas pete’s. You can make your own too.
Exactly what working parent needs… Thank you so much …
You’re certainly welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
My family loved this recipe! lt’s very versatile and easily adjusts to different tastes and all kinds of veggies. Definitely a keeper!
So glad you enjoyed it Trudi!
