Serving Suggestions

While this stir fry recipe is a complete meal on its own, pairing it with a flavorful side dish can elevate the experience even more. Whether you’re looking for a light, refreshing contrast or a heartier addition, here are some delicious options that will take your meal to the next level.

Fried Rice – A Classic Pairing

Nothing complements a chicken stir fry like a warm, savory bowl of fried rice. Try it with Minute® Fried Rice, which cooks up quickly and absorbs all the delicious flavors of your dish. Want to mix things up? Stir in some scrambled eggs, green onions, peas or even pineapple for a fun twist!

Asian Slaw – Crunchy & Refreshing

Balance out the bold flavors of your stir fry with a light and zesty Asian slaw. A mix of shredded cabbage, carrots and bell peppers tossed in a tangy sesame-ginger dressing adds the perfect crunch. Not only does it provide a contrast in texture, but it also enhances the meal’s nutritional value with extra fiber and vitamins.

Spring Rolls – A Fun & Light Appetizer

Spring rolls are the ideal pre-dinner bite or side dish for stir fry lovers. Whether you prefer fresh Vietnamese-style rolls with shrimp and mint or crispy fried spring rolls, they provide a satisfying balance of flavor and texture. Serve them with a sweet chili sauce or peanut dipping sauce for an extra layer of deliciousness.

Ramen Noodles – A Hearty, Comforting Addition

Take your stir fry in a noodle-based direction by tossing cooked ramen noodles into the stir fry sauce. The noodles soak up the rich, savory flavors and add a satisfying chewy texture to the dish. Want an even heartier meal? Add a soft-boiled egg, bean sprouts or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick.

Cucumber Salad – A Cooling Side Dish

For a simple and refreshing side, try a quick cucumber salad. Use rice vinegar, sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. The light, crisp cucumbers help balance the umami-rich stir fry and cleanse your palate between bites.

Can I use frozen vegetables for chicken stir fry?

Yes! While fresh vegetables provide the best texture, frozen stir-fry veggies work well. Just add them directly to the large skillet or wok without thawing.

What can I serve with chicken stir fry?

This easy chicken stir fry pairs perfectly with Minute® Instant White Rice or Minute® Instant Brown Rice. 

Can I make this chicken stir fry ahead of time?

Yes! Store the cooked stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave for a quick meal.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

Absolutely! While chicken thighs add extra juiciness, boneless, skinless chicken breasts work just as well in this stir fry recipe.
