Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsps olive oil (or sesame oil)
- 2 tbsps soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil (for flavor)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Cooked rice or noodles
Instructions
- Griddle Preparation: Heat Blackstone griddle to medium-high, creating an ideal cooking surface for the stir-fry.
- Chicken Searing: Drizzle olive oil and place chicken onto the griddle. Season thoroughly, cooking until golden-brown and fully cooked, moving and turning to ensure even preparation.
- Vegetable Integration: Push chicken to one side, add additional oil if necessary, then introduce broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry with rapid movements to maintain crisp texture and vibrant color.
- Sauce Creation: Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil in a separate container, developing a complex flavor profile.
- Final Combination: Merge chicken and vegetables across griddle surface, pour sauce mixture over entire preparation. Toss carefully to ensure complete coating and allow ingredients to meld together for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds as a finishing touch. Transfer immediately to serving dish, optionally presenting over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- Manage Heat Carefully: Maintain medium-high griddle temperature to prevent burning chicken or vegetables while ensuring perfect caramelization and crisp texture.
- Prepare Ingredients Beforehand: Dice chicken and chop vegetables in advance to streamline cooking process and ensure consistent, quick stir-frying.
- Control Vegetable Cooking Time: Stir-fry vegetables briefly to preserve their vibrant colors, crunch, and nutritional value – overcooking leads to mushy, less appealing results.
- Customize Sauce Flexibility: Adjust sauce quantities or swap ingredients for dietary needs like low-sodium options, gluten-free soy sauce, or adding extra heat with chili flakes.
