Easy Chicken Stir Fry

Skip the takeout! This chicken stir fry recipe makes a quick and easy family dinner. There’s nothing better for busy weeknights. Serve it over rice–or quinoa if you’d like.

Feel free to substitute beef for the chicken, and you can make substitutions for the veggies too. In fact, this stir fry recipe is a tasty way to use up any extra veggies you might have.

We especially like to add water chestnuts for the crunch, and baby corn is terrific too!

We usually serve this chicken stir fry with rice and egg rolls. Frozen egg rolls in the air fryer come out perfectly and are the ideal compliment to this tasty dish.

Who knew you could make this take-out favorite at home so easily?

We hope you love it as much as we do!
