61 Reviews of Stir-Fry Chicken With Garlic Sauce

O.K. Where do I start? First of all I like my stir-fries to be all-in-one, sooooo I made the marinade as called for and marinated the chicken. Then I heated 1 tbsp. oil in the wok and added celery, green onion, green pepper, red pepper, orange pepper and stir fried for a bit. Then I added zucchini and mushrooms and did likewise. Then I removed veggies.I then needed another tbsp. of oil and added the chicken and stir fried it for whatever time it took to lose it's pink colour. Then I dumped back the veggies and added the marinade and let it all bubble up. As another reviewer said, I needed a bit (1/2 cup maybe?) more of liquid, part white wine and part water. Ta-da! What a stir-fry! I served it over basmati rice.....to die for! The only thing I am wondering is what a chunk of fresh ginger might have added to this superb recipe....maybe next time! We can't wait to have this again! Thanks CoffeeMom!

    5 star for sure. I only used 2 half breasts but made the full sauce. I kept half separate to cook with the chicken, put it all together in the AM , stir fried it at dinner - took 10 minutes. I mixed the cornstarch with the water before adding it to the marinade.Very easy recipe to put together Delicious flavor a definate do again recipe Thanks Coffee Mom for adding to the enjoyment of my Sunday dinner

    This was very good. I used one pound chicken, doubled the sauce and added water chestnuts, broccoli, pea pods, red and yellow peppers, green onions and carrots. Next time I will triple the sauce since I added all the veggies. Served over brown rice and what a great supper. Thanks for a terrific recipe.

    Very good dish. I added some steamed veggies the last 30 seconds. We had a wonderful complete meal. Thank you for posting your recipe.

    Very yummy and really easy. Add peanutes and mushrooms for a great Kung Pao Chicken recipe!

    Excellent & quick. Used brown sugar (no honey), and sesame oil instead of vegetable oil. Added a few other veggies. Will definitely be using all the time now! Thanks for sharing! Oh, yeah, only marinated about 20 minutes while cooking the rice.

    Comment about sauce only: We made this sauce tonight and added it to some leftover grilled chicken, broccoli, carrots, onions and sweet peppers, stir-fried in olive oil with garlic & ginger. Really good sauce, but I won't be so generous with the red pepper flakes next time. (Used a pinch more than 1/2 t.--recipe doubled.) We'll be making this sauce again--maybe next time with the rest of the recipe it's posted with. Thank you, CoffeeMom!

    If I could rate this recipe higher than a 5, i would! This is one of the best dishes I have ever made. I doubled the sauce recipe and added stir fried vegetables. I also made brown rice and topped the rice with the stir fry. Thank you SO much for the excellent recipe!!

    I don't normally make a homemade stir fry sauce, but I was out of my usual bottled stuff. After searching through many stir fry recipes, this one looked perfect for us. I'm so glad that I chose it because we loved it! It has a nice, mildy sweet flavor. I didn't have green onions, but I stir fried mushrooms, celery, carrots, and a little green pepper and served with rice. This was a great family pleaser that I'm sure to use over and over. Thank you.

    This is sooooo delicious. I prepared it exactly like the recipe instructed, and served the chicken over some rice. The people I cooked it for kept going on and on about how good it was and everyone went for seconds. I will be making this again.
