Notes
- If you're not in the mood for chicken, you could use beef, pork, shrimp, or even tofu for this stir fry. The honey garlic sauce works well with lots of different proteins.
- You can also use your favorite vegetables. Stir fry is all about flexibility, so use whatever you have on hand.
- Scoop the stir fry over white or brown rice or lo mein noodles for a satisfying meal.
- Top with green onions, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
- Keep an eye on the chicken as it cooks. It browns fast when cut into small pieces.
- Love spicy food? Add in some red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce to add some heat.
