Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast skinless boneless
  • 1 cup celery sliced on an angle
  • ½ cup carrots thinly sliced into ¼ inch thick rounds
  • ½ cup onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Chicken marinade:

Stir Fry Sauce:

Instructions
 

  • Slice chicken breasts into ¼-inch-thick pieces ensuring they are a similar size.
  • Transfer sliced chicken breast into a medium bowl. Marinate chicken pieces with Marinade ingredients as listed above for 20 mins.
  • In a small bowl, combine Stir Fry Sauce ingredients as listed above. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok on medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once oil is hot, fry marinated chicken on both sides until cooked and slightly golden brown on the edges, about 3 mins in total. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  • Reduce to medium heat. Add remaining oil with onions, garlic, carrots and celery. Fry until slightly softened but still crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in prepared stir fry sauce. Toss everything together and allow sauce to simmer to thicken.
  • Once sauce has thickened, toss back in cooked chicken until each piece is coated in sauce. Remove off heat. Enjoy!
