🍽 What do I need to make chicken stir-fry?

The only equipment you need to make this easy chicken stir-fry recipe is a skillet for the stir-fry, and a pot to cook the rice.

There is really nothing to making this 5-ingredient stir-fry; it is so simple, and will save you so much time on a busy weekday.

🍚 Stir-Fry Ingredients

You will need these simple ingredients ready to make this delicious chicken dish:

• Cooked white rice
• Chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Frozen stir-fry blend vegetables
• Teriyaki sauce

What makes this teriyaki chicken stir-fry recipe so easy is the fact that it’s a 5-ingredient stir-fry, plus salt and pepper. You can use leftover rice or cook up a quick batch in your Instant Pot (Instant Pot White Rice) or on the stove (Portuguese Rice).

I like to make my own Teriyaki sauce, too. Homemade Teriyaki sauce really beats anything you can buy in a bottle. Our Teriyaki Sauce Recipe is super simple, with just a few ingredients, and is ready in 5 minutes.

Stir-Fry Vegetables

One of the easiest ingredients in this 5-ingredient stir-fry are the frozen stir-fry vegetables.

You can buy any blend you like best! I like the kind that come with broccoli, water chestnuts, green beans, and baby corn cobs. Even better if there are mushrooms in the mix.

But, there are so many blends to choose from. Use whichever blend of stir-fry vegetables you prefer.

🥘 How to Make Stir-Fry Chicken Teriyaki

1. Cook rice according to package directions or by following one of our rice recipes: Instant Pot White Rice or Stove-top Rice. Keep warm in a container or bowl covered with foil.
   
2. Over high heat in a large skillet, saute cubed chicken breast in extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes.
   
3. Add frozen stir-fry vegetables to the skillet with the chicken, and cook for 3 minutes.
   
4. Pour in teriyaki sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Serve over cooked rice, and enjoy!

⭐ Family Foodie Tips

• Try varying your stir-fry vegetables when you want to mix things up. There are so many different varieties of frozen stir-fry vegetables, you can make it however you like.
• Teriyaki stir-fry is delicious with other protein, too. If you have leftover pulled pork, you can make the most amazing Teriyaki rice bowl or pork fried rice. You can even use leftover steak to make a teriyaki beef stir-fry.

Top tip: don’t feel like rice? Make your stir-fry with noodles, instead. Chow mein or lo mein noodles are great choices for a stir-fry. I also love to stir-fry soba noodles!

Most Asian noodles take very little time to cook up, so they’re a great choice for stir-fry. If you’re on a budget or happen to have it on hand, you could even make a ramen stir-fry by leaving out the flavor packets.

👪 How many people does chicken teriyaki stir-fry feed?

Chicken stir-fry is one of the best few ingredient recipes because not only does it take just 5 ingredients, but it easily feeds a family of 4. Plus, it is super simple to scale up!

If you want to feed a larger group, you can double the ingredients to have enough for leftovers. For just a couple more servings, try adding an extra half of all the ingredients.

Just make sure not to overcrowd your pan when cooking chicken, or it won’t cook evenly!

🥗 What goes with stir-fry?

I like to serve my stir-fry with simple side dishes that complement the flavors of the veggies and chicken.

Asian side dishes or appetizers are my favorite for serving with teriyaki chicken stir-fry!

Here are some of my personal favorite choices to serve when I’m making a stir-fry recipe at home:

• Blistered Shishito Peppers with Pesto Dip
• Spicy Chinese Chicken (in place of the chicken in this recipe – you need to try this!)
• Chicken Sausage Rolls with Sweet Chili Thai Sauce
• Thai Chicken Meatballs
• Shrimp Shumai Recipe (Shrimp Dumplings)
