This Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that’s all made in just one pan!
I’ve teamed up with Land O’Lakes once again to bring you this delicious one skillet dinner. It’s 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.
Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry Recipe:
- 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:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp Land O Lakes Spreadable Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt, divided

- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 1/4 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- In another medium bowl, season the chicken with the salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Add the corn starch and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat and add 1 tbsp Land O Lakes® Spreadable Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt. Stir fry the zucchini, bell pepper and onion in the skillet until the veggies are lightly charred and tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter with olive oil and sea salt to the skillet along with the sesame oil over medium high heat. Cook the chicken in the hot skillet until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Add the garlic and ginger to the chicken and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.
- Return the veggies to the skillet and toss to coat and heat through. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy over hot rice or noodles if desired.

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!

Kim
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.
Shawn
So glad you enjoyed it Kim!
Anne
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.
Shawn
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. 🙂
Zoe
Have made this several times with chicken and shrimp, using whatever vegetables are around. Nothing but raves from everyone who has tried it!
Shawn
That sauce is boss!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Shea
This is delicious! My husband loves it! I used red pepper flakes as I had no chili sauce.
Shawn
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Geralyn
Made this tonight we loved it . I used a Thai Chili Sauce and it was perfect .
Fran
What is chili garlic sauce?
Rebekah
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.
